Next time you have a free day and the weather is clear, pack a picnic, drive up the Columbia Gorge and take the hike up Beacon Rock in Skamania County. It’s 35 miles east of Vancouver on SR14. The area is rich with natural beauty, geology, culture and history. For many, Beacon Rock itself symbolizes it all.

We did sample several spirits that were quite tasty and learned a thing or two about the distillation process, which, like beer or winemaking, can be a complex, culinary art . . . allow plenty of time to enjoy all of the unique flavors along Distillery Row!

To me, Autumn represents an inner warming as we see the magic of the season begin. Kids are back in school; the air grows cooler; nature’s palette flows from lush green to hues of red, orange, and brown. And isn’t it amazing how that change takes place? Let’s follow it together.

The idea was simple. Place some bases downtown and invite sculptors to loan art to display for two years. The sculptures are for sale and Longview Outdoor Gallery agrees to buy one piece. . . based on “People’s Voice” ballots. It is a win-win for both the community and the artists.

My favorite . . . and one I’ve traveled many times is the 171-mile Oregon Outback National Scenic Byway which follows Hwy 31 and Hwy 395 southeasterly from LaPine to the California border south of Lakeview.
The byway traverses isolated south-central Oregon and offers spectacular forest and high desert views in the northern Great Basin where streams never reach the sea. Compared by some to Australia’s Outback, most (but not all) of the area is publicly-owned and “dispersed camping” is allowed on nearly all federal land in the region. Check the map, pick a spot; no permits or fees are required.
