HENTZE FARM — 30045 Hentze Lane, Junction City Serves The Area For More Than 100 Years

Since 1902 five generations of the Hentze family have lived on a small river bottom farm located two miles due east of Junction City, Oregon. The distinctive farming style practiced by the Hentze clan can be traced back to Johan Hentze who immigrated to the USA from the Faroe Islands. For more than a century the unspoken goal—To perpetuate the good life—has driven family members to persevere in the creation of a small but operational farm.

Tending orchards, cultivating a variety of fruits and vegetables, raising cows and chickens and other livestock, hosting entertainment on the farm-these activities could describe the lifestyle on the farm in Johans generation or that of the 5th generation working the farm today. In addition to providing fresh fruit, vegetables, locker beef, pork, and lamb, the Hentze Farm features antique processing equipment which saves time and mess for home processors. The farm

offers the services of snipped and cut green beans, corn husked and cut, pitted sweet and sour cherries and cracked walnuts and hazelnuts. In addition serving patrons produce needs, the Hentzes also entertain visitors with the farm animal experience. Special events include BBQ’s, live music, wagon rides and other farm activities throughout the summer and fall. To read more about the Hentze experience see our website: www.hentzefarm.com.

Salvage Sisters Antiques & More By Kathy Rowland

My sister-in-law, Laura, and myself retired two years ago and decided to follow our passion--we love antiques and collectibles. It was easy to ‘adjust our lifestyle’ and switch to restoring, repurposing and bringing old furniture back to life. You can find results of our ‘works’ in the Courtyard on 6th, in Junction City. Recently the owner, John, came to us with an idea that we should consider making ‘mini rooms’ of furniture and collectibles displayed in a functional way. What a grand idea! So when you come to the Courtyard on 6th be sure to go upstairs and check out our new showrooms. Perhaps you’ll even get some decorating ideas, that’s fine with us. You can purchase individual items or the entire room. That’s fine with us too. We invite you to come visit us at the Courtyard on 6th, in Junction City, Monday thru Saturday, 10-6pm. Do you want a fun day? Stop by the Courtyard and peruse away!

Laura’s phone number is 541-953-1194 Kathy’s phone number is 541-517-3079 Store hours are Monday thru Saturday from 10am to 6pm.

“Whenever we call, we get one of the owners, Craig or Rick. We recently did a kitchen remodel. They ran gas, water and replaced drain lines. After the cabinets were installed, they hooked up our gas range, and installed our new kitchen sink and dishwasher and hooked up the ice/water on our refrigerator. Our former drain was running slow, so they ‘snaked’ the line and now its great too! These are the ONLY plumbers we’ll ever call!” - SR, Junction City Testimonial -

There are twelve species of the Betula Genus of Birch Trees. Some of the common names are; Paper Bark Birch, River Birch, Himilayan Birch, Bog Birch, Cherry Birch, Downy Birch, Dwarf Birch, Japanese White Birch, and . . . They love water (some more than others), they have

great color and shape, they grow well in our climate and, they give us shade! We all love Birches! And, in the past three years, an invader has come to the Willamette Valley that loves Birches too. Meet “Bronze Birch Borer” in Part 2 of this magazine.

Do you see ‘lumps’ forming under the bark of your tree? Do you see bronzy colored oozing? Do you see unusual bark separation?

If you don’t want to lose your tree, take action! A serious epidemic is underway.

SINCE 1948

UO Sports

From Sheldon to UO - Taylor Alie

Just five years ago, Taylor Alie was a backup high school quarterback with little hope of playing at the college level. Today he’s a scholarship player on the Ducks and only a few terms away from graduating. The redshirt senior grew up in Eugene, dreaming of the day that he’d get to play for the Ducks. He was lucky enough to attend Henry D. Sheldon High School, an Oregon football powerhouse that has turned out such greats as Alex Bring, Chris Miller and Curtis White. Alie spent most of his prep career at backup quarterback, but in his senior year his hard work paid off and he won the starting job. He lead his team to an incredible 14-0 season,

throwing for 3,183 yards and 35 touchdowns. Though he had an amazing senior season and was named to the state 6-A all-state first team, the college offers didn’t roll in. While he had talent, his limited playing time and slight 6-foot 175-pound frame concerned most schools. In fact he only received an offer from Linfield, a Division 3 school in McMinnville. Though he had the opportunity to attend school for free he instead chose to try out for the Ducks. “It was a D1 football team [Oregon], and I might as well see if I could make it,” Alie told Duck Territory. “Hold nothing back. I’d rather do this and get cut than never do it and regret it my whole life.” Alie made the team and spent his first year redshirting on the practice squad, then joined the team as a fifth-string quarterback. While he’s never earned the starting job he has become a vital part of the team, acting as the number two backup, PAT holder and occasional wide receiver. Though he’s talented, Alie likely won’t make it at the next level. Instead he plans on graduating in 2018 and will pursue a career in accounting. Oregon Football will kick off at home on September 2 against Southern Utah. There is also a football fan day planned for August. For more information go to goducks.com.

Soccer Star Bella Geist

Oregon State soccer star Bella Geist has played a wide

variety of sports during her career including one you may not expect – prep football. Geist’s sports career started out like one would expect. Geist dabbled with several sports, including softball, soccer, track and basketball. She eventually decided to focus solely on soccer during middle school. “When I was a freshman, one of my good friends was talking about football in ceramics class,” Geist told the Portland Tribune. “He said, ‘It would be so cool if you’d kick. And you’d be really good at it because you can kick a soccer ball really far...I talked with my advisor, who is also a football coach, and he said he thought I should give it a try.” Giest joined the football team the following season and went

40-yard field goal as time ran out in regulation forced overtime against then fourth-ranked Wilsonville and helped the Kingsmen win 28-26 in a double overtime upset. She went on to make First-Team All-State and All-NWOC in 2013. Of course, Geist wouldn’t be able to continue playing football beyond high school. Luckily she was an even better prep soccer athlete than placekicker. As goalie for her high school soccer team, Geist earned a plethora of honors, including threetime All-NWOC First Team and two-time NWOC Player of the Year. Geist made up her mind early when it came time to pick a college. She visited Oregon State as a sophomore in high school and received an offer. It was a perfect fit – OSU has a veterinary school and business school, her planned major and minor. Though her father tried to convince her to think about her options, Geist committed two days later. Today the college senior serves as the goalie on the Oregon State soccer team. She’s moved into third place in all-time saves with 297 and has recorded 12 shutouts. She will graduate in 2018 with a degree in veterinary science and plans on pursing a professional soccer career. Oregon State soccer starts up in August. For a full schedule visit osubeavers.com.

The Families of Eugene’s “Castle on the Hill” 1887-Present

Between 1894-1904 the McMurpheys had four daughters and two sons. Additionally, Alberta helped beautify the railroad depot and dedicated an ornate electric fountain • In 1950 The McMurphey family sold the house to Drs. Curtis and Eva Johnson. As a child, Eva had always dreamed of owning the “Castle on the Hill,” now she was able to purchase it for $30,000. Application was made to the city of Eugene to place their medical offices in the house-it was denied. Curtis and Eva had four children. Curtis

A big part of safety is thinking ahead, being prepared. The simplest form of hazard analysis business owners or supervisors do is probably asking themselves what they need in their first aid kits. What could happen on my site? Could there be cuts, minor burns, exposure to heat, cold or weather? Is there machinery, or chemicals on site? There is a new ANSI 2015 Standard which provides lists for the basics to include in any “A’ or “B” kit, depending on the range of potential hazards and the environment. Whether you are outfitting a small office, a large truck, a restaurant, farm, grocery store or machine shop, there are specifics to consider. There is a special “Forest Activities” fill specified by OSHA for logging operations. But because OSHA puts the responsibility of being prepared on each employer, special conditions may require special fills. We build kits to ANSI standards, but we also build custom kits of various sizes and purposes for sports teams, truckers, manufacturers, deli and fast food shops, disaster response teams and sheriffs’ departments. And we make refills easy. Metal kits and cabinets, plastic kits, soft kits in fanny packs, duffels or backpacks? See us at Norwest Safety for First Aid. Ask for our First Aid FaxBack order form!

Monroe is proof that when a community works

together it can surmount all obstacles. An open house was held in the spring of 2013. It took six years of persistence to raise $2.4 million of private money and MAX create a library that is the envy of all small towns. It’s worth a stop to chat with the librarian and find out how useful this community library is.

Actually, it probably isn’t okay, and before the rattle gets worse, please bring it out for us to look at. We can test the hard drive, and see if it is going bad, which it sounds like it is. If you leave it, it could freeze, and-sad to say-when that happens, we can’t get the information off it. It is possible to get it but it has to be sent off, and will cost you up to $1,500, to get that info back. And then it is only pictures and documents. So before we go any farther can I suggest you get a flash drive to use as a backup for all that information. I hate to tell people, “Sorry, but you lost it all.” I honestly want to say, “Why didn’t you bring it in sooner, and we could have saved your information?” But we try to be polite. Please folks, let us fix things beforeBthey are unfixable. We do have a service that we can tap into your computer remotely and clean it up. We have some businesses that do this on a monthly basis, and individuals who do it every six months or so. This can really help as we can see then if your hard drive is working ok, clean up the cookies, and just do an overall check of your computer. Do think about this and give us a call for more information.”

Tree Upkeep Before the Next Storm S

With tree services just catching up with damage caused by a Ponds rough, wet and windy winter, Brian Jones from A-1 Ron’s Stump & Tree Removal, a family business since 1989, says, “Now is the time to assess your trees so you aren’t doing it during a storm or after a storm when more damage occurs and tree services are busy. “We will inspect your trees and give you a complete assessment. We’ll show you where the danger is before a disaster occurs. This will prevent costly damage from falling trees or tree limbs dropping on cars and houses, and people. RSo don’t put off that tree inspection,33as 34 5 the best time for an assessment is in the summertime.” 3 The tree experts at A-1 prevent future property damage byNHS 4 spotting potential weaknesses that lead to fallen trees and branches. W Y. SE LB Y Keeping your trees well maintained with a tree health assessment can increase property value as well. Call A-1 to identify which trees are liabilities and which are assets. “Trees, like humans, suffer from disease and decay and have a life expectancy, so they should be assessed yearly,” Brian says. “You’ll find dangerous trees, healthy trees and unwanted trees. In any case, we’ll give you a free estimate, and if needed, we will provide you with experienced service to clean up and complete the job.” “A-1 has modern equipment for the upkeep of your property. Safety and efficiency was recently improved our acquisition of a 60foot boom truck, which reduces customer costs in some cases, but tree climbers may still be needed. To help with upkeep, discounts for teachers, seniors and military personnel will be honored through October. Call us NOW to inspect. A damaged tree is a dangerous tree!” RD

Urgent Care? Emergency Room? Which Is The Right Choice? by Dr. Desmond Crooks

Trying to make the right decisions is a part of

our daily lives. When it comes to your health, the decisions can become very important. How do you choose between going to the urgent care or going to the ER? It’s good to have a plan. To clarify, urgent care isn’t considered a substitute for emergency care. Sometimes, it may be difficult for you to decide whether your symptoms are due to an emergency condition. In general, an emergency condition is one that can permanently impair or endanger a persons life. Accordingly, if your problem is not life threatening or risking disability, then urgent care is a reasonable choice. Sudden, severe pain, loss of function of an arm, leg, vision or speech are clear examples of bona fide emergencies and should be seen in the emergency setting. Other examples include loss of consciousness, uncontrollable bleeding or fractures where the bone is showing. If the condition is life or limb threatening – go to the ER. What can you do to make these often difficult choices easier? First, there is substantial value to being prepared – learn what your treatment choices are before any medical problem occurs. Information is power. Most insurers provide useful details on their websites and in their member manuals. Being familiar with this information ahead of having a medical problem can lessen stress and speed up making the decision of where to go. Of course, medical care can be expensive. Keep in mind that emergency rooms are usually part of a

hospital where nearby operating rooms and intensive care units can be critically important. It is quite costly to maintain these services, so if the problem is not an emergency, then in most situations, you’ll save significant expense (and time!) by going to urgent care instead of an emergency room. An example of the kinds of problems an urgent care clinic can care for include: • Common illnesses, such as colds, the flu, earaches, sore throats, migraines, lowgrade fevers and limited rashes • Injuries such as sprains, back pain, burns, minor broken bones, or minor eye injuries • Asthma care, bronchitis, strep throat and bladder infections • Lacerations and wound care, nosebleeds and puncture wounds Our urgent care clinics (listed in this magazine and on the back cover) are equipped to handle non-life threatening situations, like those shown above. On average, we provide care for the kind of problems you can typically find at your doctor’s office. Lastly, we understand not all Americans have access to their primary care doctors at night or on weekends. To help fill this gap, we are conveniently open late 7 days a week. No appointment needed.

Dorris Ranch

Story by Gini Bramlett Photos by Willamalane Park and Rec. District

Put This Family Place On Your Bucket List If you’re a nature enthusiast, a history buff or both,

a visit to Dorris Ranch in Springfield should be on your bucket list. Dorris Ranch in southwest Springfield, part of the Willamalane Park and Recreation District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is a national historic site, a working farm and a public park complete with walking trails and natural areas. The ranch also serves as the western access point of the paved, four-mile-long Middle Fork Path, which runs to Clearwater Park. Dorris Ranch is recognized as the first commercial filbert orchard in the United States. Oregon’s history with filberts started in 1892 when George Dorris and his wife Lulu bought 250 acres of fertile land along the Willamette River and dedicated their lives to farming. After experimenting with a variety of crops, George established the first commercial filbert orchard in the United States. Over the next 50 years the Dorris family planted 9,200 trees at the ranch and harvested more than 50 tons of nuts each year. Now, more than 100 years later, Dorris Ranch continues to make history as a fully-productive commercial filbert orchard. More than half of all the commercial filbert trees now growing in the United States originated from Dorris Ranch nursery stock.

The working ranch contains 11 orchards containing more than 9,000 trees on 75 acres. A local orchardist maintains the orchards. Visitors can step back to 1852 and discover what life was like for the original owners of the ranch, William and Eliza Masterson and their family, and view a replica of their simple 12-foot-by-16-foot log cabin, a blacksmith shop, a freight farm wagon and replicas of a 1830s fur trapper’s cabin and a Native American plank house.

Dorris Ranch is also host to a variety of plants, flowers and birds. Come for a visit and enjoy a walk through this 250-acre historic site and natural area at your own pace on one of the park’s self-guided tours. Brochures with all the interesting facts, historical sites and a map of area paths are available at the entrance kiosk.

Dorris Ranch, 205 Dorris St., is open to the public weekdays and weekends from 6 a.m. till dusk. To get there from downtown Springfield, travel south on South 2nd St. The ranch is at the bottom of the hill.

Western Oregon’s Covered Bridges

Chitwood

On the following four pages you will find: • A map with 51 locations. • Instructions on how to drive to each covered bridge. • Four short loop tours. • The basic concept of bridge engineering.

Crawfordsville Krewson

Facts:

Bridges have been major part of Oregon’s growth from 1850 through the 1900s. Crossing rivers and creeks were a major problem for people and commerce. Ferries were not dependable due to the rise and fall and swiftness of these rivers and creeks. The sooner a bridge could be built, the more consistent the flow of trade. At first, bridges were not covered and the wet environment of the forest caused Joel Whittmore the planks to rot. Covering added years of life. At one time there were approximately 600 covered bridges in Oregon. Due to being replaced by modern steel and concrete, and abandonment or neglect, that number has dwindled to the present 51. For many locals, that raised an alarm. This has resulted in countless volunteer hours and huge dollars to repair, and sometimes move to a more desirable location, those remaining bridges that had fallen into disrepair. If someone claims to have been to ‘every’ covered bridge in Oregon (and its not in this guide) they need to send proof, pictures and location, and we’ll gladly publish it here, upon confirmation. Photo at right - Along your journey you may even find a few uncared for bridges, like the Dahlenburg foot bridge that was built over Ames Creek in 1989. No matter what, the search for covered bridges is fascinating. Every bridge has its own Dahlenburg unique scenery and its own story to tell.

WESTERN OREGON’S COVERED BRIDGES Structure is Everything To make the most out of your covered bridge trek, notice the groupings and plan your day accordingly. Be sure to look for the truss type that supports the bridge you are visiting. There are a few reasons why the Howe truss was most commonly used; primarily it was its simple design strength over long distances coupled with its vertical steel tie-rods that allowed maintenance crews to adjust as needed.

A word from Westfir Mayor Matt Meske

“If you are an outdoors person or someone who would like to live in a quiet community, Westfir is the place for you. We have several local swimming holes, hiking trails, popular biking trails, birding nature area, horse-

back riding trails, and a not-to-distant OHV park. And the amazing Aufderheide Scenic Highway begins here. With Westfir Lodge we have beds and meals, for RV overnighters we have Casey’s Riverside RV Park, and of

course, Oakridge is just a few minutes away for everything else. We have a terrific community, a healthy climate, and much more. In short, this is a great place to live.” •

Sixty Miles of Pure Nature The Aufderheide Scenic Drive By Gini Bramlett

Impassable during winter snow season

Cougar Reservoir

Where can one truly escape

from the ever-increasing traffic, the incessant noise and the ever-present evidence of our technological world? My choice is the peaceful tranquility of the Aufderheide (pronounced Owf-der-high-duh) Scenic Drive, part of the Western Oregon Scenic Byway in the Willamette National Forest. This pleasant afternnoon drive is unique in that it equates a step back in time before power lines, cell phone towers, and billboards marred our natural world. There are no restaurants, motels or gas stations, and very little traffic. But, do watch out for bicyclists, this byway

is for them too. Our first stop was Cougar Reservoir offering boating, fishing and other water recreation. With repairs forcing the lowering of the water level, and low rainfall coupled with unseasonably warm temperatures this past spring, expect to see record low water levels. But, as you can see in the above picture, the view is still a sight to behold. Most of the drive follows various forks of both the McKenzie and the Willamette rivers where dozens of campgrounds - all primitive - are available on a firstcome first-serve basis.

For hikers, there are trailheads galore, and numerous inviting swimming holes offering quick dips to cool off.

Native Columbine

If you’re game, take the four-mile hike for a relaxing soak at one of the five Terwilliger Hot Springs located a short distance beyond the reservoir. Cost is $5 per person and clothing is optional.

For RVers there is nearby Casey’s Riverside RV Park-Casey’s is one of the top rated RV parks in Oregon.

Along the roadway, the first half of the drive offers a plethora of photo opportunities of native plants, such as lupine, diminutive tiger lillies, columbine and at least five types of ferns. With all the maples lining the road, a fall visit will yield lush colors.

Oakridge

North Fork Willamette River This 60-mile jaunt begins just past the town of Blue River on Hwy 126. I recommend that you make a quick stop at the McKenzie Ranger station in Blue River and pick up an audio tape guide. (Note: the ranger station is closed weekends). Allocate about three hours to complete the drive allowing for photo stops, scenic views, and maybe a picnic along the river bank.

Maidenhair Fern

Westfir & Office Bridge

The byway ends at the Office Bridge in the quiet town of Westfir. Here there is a general store to purchase snacks and groceries and there is Westfir Lodge which offers rooms, drinks, and lunches. Travel through the Office Bridge and you will find a picnic area with restroom facilities.

July 7, 8 & 9

For old and young, the OHV SxS (Off Highway

Vechicle, Side by Side seating) festival is all about enjoying going places in the forest where you might never go. It is about not scarring the land and not leaving trash. It is about enjoying a vista and sharing it with your friend. It is about preparing your vehicle and leaving early, having a wonderful day, then returning to your campsite, having some dinner, and going to sleep so that you can get up early and enjoy the next day. This festival requires folks to bring their SxS vehicles to Oakridge and enjoy organized rides. A guide will be in the front, and the back, of each ‘caravan’. During the ride, trail courtesies will be implemented. These are guided rides designed to obtain the most information/pleasure from each trip. Stops will be made along the way for various photoshoots and, for those who would like, exploring those places that are ‘just a short walk’ off the road. On these group rides, your guide will determine the stops. During the festival there are four designated routes, each have their own ‘type’ of scenery. Route 1 - Northwest Route, also known as the Waterfall Route, 100 miles long; see springs and waterfalls Route 2 - East Route, 100 miles long; see amazing natural features Route 3 - Warner Lookout Route, a geological route, 65 miles long; visit secluded monoliths and isolated lakes Route 4 - Bohemia Mines Route, the most technical, 85 miles long; visit Bohemia City and its old post office Both Routes 1 and 2 pass through Huckleberry Flats OHV area, a motorized-only trail system consisting of 65

Bronze Birch Borers follow the typical wood borer life cycle. The adults fly, mate, chew a hole, and then deposit eggs that develop into larvae which do the bulk of the damage. While in the wood the larvae pupate into future adults who grow and chew their way out to fly and mate.

There’s nothing hopeful about this picture, and the pruning in late 2016 wasn’t the answer.

The larvae feeds on the cambium (sapwood). This attack separates the bark from the tree. Being the ‘vascular’ part of the tree it, like our blood vessels, the tree no longer has a supply line for nutrients. The tree, that you enjoyed so much throughout the year, dies.

First we tap a stout needle into the tree, near the base. Then we inject a pesticide into the vascular system in multiple places around the base of the tree. Each tree needs to be treated. A treatment lasts for one year.

All of this can be avoided. Call us, don’t let your tree suffer! 86

All-Season Hours: Tue-Sat 10am-6pm

The Emerald Valley Armory was founded by Raye Gunter in late 2011. Raye has over 15 years of armory management experience and almost 8 years of active service. His vision with Emerald Valley Armory is to build a solid line of services and products based on his experience. “I sell, buy and trade legal guns. And, if you are selling a firearm between two private parties, I am happy to do the transfer for you.”

Emerald Offers A Variety Of Classes “Safety is developed in training.”

• Basic Handgun Safety and Personal Protection Oregon/Utah CHL Handgun safety and responsibilities concluding with Oregon/Utah Concealed Handgun License. • Carry Skills Class Advanced defensive handgun use and safety • Urban Defensive Carbine Class Use of the carbine in short to medium range environments All classes are complete with active shooting instruction.

A Message From Raye

“Why have a gun? Is the most common question that non-owners ask me,” said Raye Gunter, owner and gunsmith, of the Emerald Valley Armory of Creswell. “People own and enjoy guns for many reasons: 1- Recreational shooting, competition, or collecting; 2- Hunting game such as deer, elk, antelope, waterfowl, upland game birds, varmint, or predator control; 3- They are concerned about self-defense in a world that preys upon the defenseless. And while we’re on that subject, its been proven time and again, that the crazy shooters pick on people that won’t shoot back, they will run if one of their potential victims points a gun at them.

Sadly, our society is being fed the notion that taking away all guns will eliminate all shooters, BUT, what history teaches us, when countries take away gun rights from their citizenry, is that criminals have a heyday robbing, murdering and doing terrible things. Our U.S. Constitution is not out-dated as some of our politicians are telling us. Our U.S. Constitution was wise in allowing us to defend ourselves against both internal and external criminal elements. Simply look around, read history and think about the direction this world is going-and give me a call to tell me where I am wrong.”

Trea tmen t Plan t

The Bohemia Mining Days Festival began in 1959 as part of the statewide centennial celebration of Oregon statehood. Today, it is one of the state’s oldest community celebrations, earning an Oregon Heritage Tradition designation. For generations, BMD has been the highlight of the summer in Cottage Grove. It showcases the unique and colorful history of the frontier town’s early days when miners came down from the mines to spend their gold. Cottage Grove’s 10,000 population swells by thousands during the four-days of the community’s largest event of the year. The 2017 theme for the 58th annual celebration is “Galloping into the Past” and highlights the important role horses, mules and oxen played in the development of Cottage Grove and the Bohemia Mining District.

Tradition is the hallmark of Bohemia Mining Days. The festival queens from 1965 & 1966 served as the 2016 Grand Marshals of BMD's Saturday morning parade.

AN AFFORDABLE FAMILY AFFAIR The four-day festival is packed with affordable family-friendly fun! Free admission and free parking, three parades, live entertainment, a beer & wine garden, free games and contests, cultural heritage demonstrators (panning for real gold, frontier encampment, & blacksmithing), a 5K Run/Walk, a historical treasure hunt on a time-traveling train, a carnival, amusements (Euro bungie jumping, mechanical bull riding, pony rides & remote car racing), a quilt show, ice cream social and 80+ vendors!

Gene Bland, the Backwoods Blacksmith, is one of the historical demonstrators in Bohemia City during all four days of the festival.

The Kiddie Parade through the historic downtown district has been a favorite memory-maker since 1959.

On Thursday, the unique Bloomer Parade begins at 5:30 pm on Main & 5th St and proceeds east to kick off the festival.

Steve Pettit of the Bohemia Mine Owners Association gives instructions on how to pan for real gold.

Quick History, Past From its headwaters at Diamond Lake

in the Cascade Mountain Range, 100 miles east of Roseburg, the Umpqua River snakes its way 111 miles past Roseburg to where it empties into the Pacific Ocean at Winchester Bay. Simply put, the Scenic Umpqua River Valley stretches from Roseburg where the North Umpqua and South Umpqua meet (six miles northwest of Roseburg), to its mouth at Winchester Bay. The river and its valleys are famous for many things, including world class fishing, scenic trails, logging and, more recently, wine. In the early 1800’s the Umpqua River valley was inhabited mostly by the Coquilles, a tribe of Native Americans. The tribe gave most of its land to the United States in the 1854 Treaty with the Umpqua

and Kalapuya, agreeing to move to a reservation in Lincoln County and become part of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz. The river itself is named for the Umpqua, one of the Coquille bands. Two translations of the Native American word “umpqua” are “thundering waters” and “across the waters”. Since the early pioneer days, the river and surrounding areas helped produce and move the greatest wealth in Southern Oregon-timber and gold. Sailing vessels and steam schooners would arrive at Winchester Bay and their hard-to-get merchandise would be loaded onto river boats that would carry the goods to Scottsburg, where the deep tidewater ends and the rapids begin. There, the goods would be re-loaded onto mule trains and head for the interior valley and Roseburg.

On the turn-around trip the mule trains would be loaded with timber and gold from the valley and sent back to be re-loaded at Scottsburg for the final leg to Winchester Bay. This all worked fine until devestating floods of the 1860s wiped out most of Scottsburg, sinking it into obscurity. Also, at the same time, advancements of the north/south railroad lines in the valley, made shipping more predictable. Today, the Umpqua River is famous for some of the world’s best fly-fishing, salmon fishing, and sturgeon fishing. It is also known for its small-mouth bass, striped bass, and shad population. The river and its heavy summer steelhead run was made famous when writer and sports angler Major Lawrence Mott, also known as the “millionaire reporter”, set up a fishing camp in the area in 1929.

9:04am-11:36am Aug 21, 2017

How frequent does a Total Solar Eclipse occur at the same place on Earth? Once in approximately every 360 years. How wide is the path of the eclipse on the Earth? Approximately 60-70 miles wide. This eclipse extends from Boiler Bay State Park, Oregon, to South Carolina. This path, crossing exclusively within the U.S., makes it the first total solar eclipse falling within our nation's borders and going from the Pacific to the Atlantic over the same path,since 1776. Start 9:04 am

The eclipse (total blackout) will last approximately TWO minutes in a given location.

SOLAR

The eclipse path isn't expected to repeat itself for another 300-400 years.

10:16am Timeline for Boiler Bay, and from Pacific City to Waldport

Finish11:36am

Because the moon varies its distance from earth due to its elliptical orbit (from 217,700 miles to 247,900 miles), the moon's silhouette can vary from eclipse to eclipse. It is called an annular eclipse when a ring of sunlight is still visible. Don't look at the sun even if the eclipse appears fully dark. It will soon be coming out the other side and just 1% of direct sunlight can, and likely will, cause eye damage. Here's some cities in Oregon that fall within the path of this eclipse: Salem, Madras, Dallas, Philomath (including Marys Peak and Mr. Hebo), John Day Fossil Beds (its not a 'city' but it might look like one during the eclipse), Independence, Baker City and exit not far from Ontario, its eclipse occuring at 11:26am--did I leave anyone out? Oh, the Oregon Coast! The center of the path is Boiler Bay which is a mile and a half north of downtown Depoe To the right is a Lunar Eclipse. Boiler Bay will experience a total lunar eclipse on Jan 31, 2018 and on Jan 20, 2019. If a person stood on the same spot over a period of 18 years, 19-20 lunar eclipses may occur and of those, three or four might be total eclipses.

Bay; the 60 mile-wide shadowy path covers Pacific City to the north and Waldport to the south. Obviously Pacific City, Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, Newport and Waldport are great viewing locations. How much time does the eclipse take to go across the U.S.? Oregon’s Boiler Bay’s eclipse will be at 10:16am and the Philomath eclipse will be at 10:17am; South Carolina’s Charleston will be at 2:47pm.

Just five minutes south of Yachats, near Cape Perpetua, nature made another marvelous ‘sight to behold’. Every year, people have been swept inside when getting too close-they die. I recommend that visitors go to the Cape Perpetua Visitors Center, on Hwy 101, for instructions.

Darlingtonia Natural Site

Story by Colette Kimball, Photos by Rick Obst

Just off Highway 101, near the north end of Florence, sits a bog full of plants which are so rare that the State of Oregon maintains an 18-acre botanical park to protect them. The plants are the Darlingtonia californica, more commonly known as a “Cobra Lilly” or “Pitcher Plant.” plants from a boardwalk over the bog. at any time of the year, the best time to The Darlingtonia Natural Site visit may be in the late spring or early includes a quarter-mile-long loop trail While seeing the rare insect-eating plants growing in the wild is enjoyable summer when the plants are in bloom. that provides excellent views of the Life in a bog, where there are few nutrients in the soil, can be hard for a plant. The Darlingtonia has adapted by “eating” insects. The process is rather simple: insects are attracted into the plant’s “mouths” by sweet-smelling nectar. Once inside, the insects become confused and can’t find their way back out. Eventually, they slide to the base of the plant where they drown in a pool of fluid. As the insect bodies break down, they release nutrients which the plant absorbs. Theses carnivorous flora have are proud supporters of our local Boy Scouts!" been called, ‘eerily spectacular!’

Formerly known as the Darlingtonia Wayside, the Darlingtonia Natural Site is located just east of Highway 101, five miles north of Florence. It is conveniently close to the coast highway and makes for an easy stop.

Siuslaw Pioneer Museum Florence

By Colette Kimball Photos By Historical Society

It is no surprise that Florence, with its vibrant historic Old Town, is full of history. Settlers were first attracted to the area in the late 1800s because of its wealth of natural resources, especially timber and salmon. The area was so rugged and remote that these hardy people depended on natural thoroughfares – traveling on the beach or along the Siuslaw River – to connect with the outside world. Despite this isolation, the population in Florence flourished so that by 1905 a two-story schoolhouse was built. Today, that schoolhouse is the perfect setting for the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum. Located in the heart of Old Town the museum provides an interesting collection of artifacts from earlier times. Showing how people lived and worked in the Siuslaw River area is the focus of the first floor exhibits. The second floor features a military room, displays of

122

office and sewing equipment, and a room of Native American artifacts. Sprinkled throughout the museum are videos which explain the history in more detail. Perhaps the best displays, however, are a large replica of a saw mill and some of the original controls from the Siuslaw River drawbridge. These are located outside on the back patio. Harry Zinn, Operations Manager, says that the museum is constantly getting new donations and regularly rotates their exhibits to keep them fresh and interesting. An addition is also in the works, which will increase both exhibit and storage space. The Siuslaw Pioneer Museum is located 278 Maple Street. Admission $3. Check the Museum’s website (www.siuslawpioneermuseum.com) for open hours.

IT'S SUMMERTIME AT DEADWOOD COUNTRY MARKET & TAVERN! Rock/Blues/Country

June 24 TBA July 29 Kush Band August 26 -Heavy Chevy Deadwood On Scenic Hwy 36 Pop. (2014) 294; Elev.Start 1,385’; Not incorp. 5 pm

Rumor has it; In the early 1800s the local Indians did a controlled underbrush burn in the area. The burn did not go as planned and, as a result, may trees were burnt therefore creating much ‘dead wood’.

Deadwood Country Market & Tavern

This is a ‘must-stop’ on Hwy 36, just 17 minutes upriver from Mapleton.

Owners Dimitri, Angelo & Tina manage a convenience market, restaurant/bar and gas pumps. River access is nearby.

Here’s what the customer’s say:

• “If you haven’t visited, stop by to see the awesome bar & restaurant, featuring an amazing cedar log bar!” • “Family friendly atmosphere!” • “Dimitri’s a talented chef, and his wife Tina made us all feel welcome!”

“Yummy food inside!”

In the rush to get to the coast, travellers risk missing some of the finest scenery, and people, Oregon’s Coast Range Mountains have to offer. The Loop runs from Veneta to Mapleton to Franklin and back to Veneta. The above proprietors care about their communities and their customers. Being helpful to fellow humans comes natural when you live in the country. Of course there are many towns along the Loop that need recognition-Mapleton, Brickerville, Tide, Swisshome, Deadwood, Greenleaf, Blachly, Horton, Triangle Lake, Low Pass, Franklin, Walton, Elmira, Veneta, Noti and Vaughn. All of these towns were important to the development of this area. In the 1800s there were wagon routes (much

of which you are driving on) that connected them to the coast and the Willamette Valley. Along the ‘Loop’ there are four covered bridges (one is a little south of Veneta), remnants of lumber mills, two wigwams (one is a little west of Mapleton), derelict logging equipment, numerous photo opportunities, occassional old barns that speak of a hopeful past, hiking, camping, swimming, picnicing, boating, top-quality restuarants, pubs, convenience stores, fueling stations, boat accesses and even a nice dry place to wash your dog. Remember, Slow down, Stop in, and See what Oregon’s townsfolk are like.

The Umpqua River, which runs along the north side of Reedsport and whose mouth is at Winchester Bay, and whose tidewaters reach nearly 20 miles inland to the town of Scottsburg, was a major shipping route REEDSPORT in the mid 1800s. This river provided movement of cargo to the upper Willamette Valley-essential tools & supplies went upriver and gold & lumber went downriver. The Umpqua shipping went to Coos Bay when the 1st Umpqua lighthouse (that was build on a sand spit near the river) collapsed in 1863. See Lighthouse section. O V ID

by Diane Novak, director Come inside the Umpqua Discovery Center on Reedsport’s riverfront and you’ll enter an exciting new world. You will be taken on a journey through time in the Tidewaters and Time cultural history exhibit and gift shop. The adventure begins with the Kuuich Indians and early explorers, such as Jedediah Smith. Listen as the early pioneers tell stories about life in a tidewater town and watch videos of how logging was done in the past. Walk through the fish cannery and tidewater town. The combination of genuine historical artifacts and high tech sound and light will heighten your appreciation of the experience. In the natural history exhibit, Pathways to Discovery, visitors are taken along on a simulated outdoor adventure. First, there’s the estuary at sunrise in the fall. This is followed by the deep forest in winter at midday, where you can slide into the bear cave and learn about hibernating bears. Next you enter the weather station, listen to storm stories from the past, and learn a wealth of information from the OMSI exhibits on rain, wind, and atmosphere. Your journey will continue to a high mountain meadow on a spring afternoon, and then to a summer sunset in the dunes. The end of the trail is the Subterranean Education Room where you’ll view videos on skeletons, weather, seashore & animal homes.

Open Daily (admission charged): June 1-Sept 30: Mon-Sat, 10-5pm; Sun 12-4pm Oct 1-May 31: Mon-Sat, 10-4pm; Sun 12-4pm Located at 409 Riverfront Way, Reedsport. For info call 541-271-4816 or go to www.umpquadiscoverycenter.com

Egyptian Theatre Offers Historic Spin on Entertainment By Vera Westbrook & Steve Rowland

After years of restoration, the

Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay is now open to the public. A first-run movie theatre in the past, the Egyptian today is owned by the City of Coos Bay and operated by the Egyptian Theatre Preservation Association. With the help of executive director/theatre manager Kara Long, volunteers run the theatre, selling popcorn and tickets for movies more than 5 years old, live performances, and both public and private events. “We’re a mixed bag of family films, classics, event films, music on the stage and comedy shows,” Long says, with movies like ‘The Princess Bride’ that saw 500 people in three days. “At this point we’ve seen about 20,000 people before the first year of operations. Beer and movie nights are also extremely popular, with the help

130

of local breweries, as are fundraisers like the Clam Bake Jazz Festival.” The theatre is also for rent for events like weddings, award ceremonies, and parties for holidays or birthdays. Its 1925 Egyptian décor includes four original painted stage backdrops with a functional Wurlitzer pipe organ from the 1920s. When in downtown Coos Bay, visit the theatre’s ornate interior on 229 S. Broadway St. For photos and events, see the website at www.egyptiantheatreoregon.com and the Facebook page at Egyptian Theatre Coos Bay. Since its reopening in June of 2014, the

excitement from both locals and visitors has been phenomenal. Films vary from the formerly popular, The Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981), My Neighbor Tortoro (1988), the musical 1776, live concerts, and other delightful performances and showings. Now, imagine yourself sitting in a place that makes those films ‘come alive!” It’s a million dollar ambience. Give the Egyptian Theatre a visit, you’ll have the 5-star experience that others theatre goers are talking about.

Cape Arago Lighthouse Lens Now At CHM!

By Steven Greif and Jon Littlefield

The Coos History Museum in Coos

Bay opened in the summer of 2015 and continues to add to its stellar exhibits about life on Oregon’s South Coast. Recently a wonderful lighthouse lens was added to the collection. The Cape Arago Lighthouse at the mouth of Coos Bay, one of the earliest on the Oregon Coast, began service in 1866. A replace-

ment lighthouse was built in 1909. In 1993, GPS replaced the need for the light at Cape Arago and its lens was then moved to storage at a local Coast Guard station. The lens was manufactured in Paris using the lens designs of Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) a French physicist who revolutionized aids to navigation by supporting the theory that light moves in waves, not particles, so it can be bent and focused using glass prisms. Working with physicist François Arago, they developed compound lenses that refracted light to form beams. A Fresnel lens wraps around the lamp to concentrate light rays into a super-powerful beam so that sailors can see the beam up to 20 miles away. Fresnel figured out that the lamp and lens could be rotated, so that as the beam of light swept across the sea, the light seemed to flash. Adding different sequences of flashes and colored panels of glass helped sailors know which lighthouse they were looking at and where they were. When you study the Cape Arago lens,

which is lit with a modern low wattage LED bulb, you will notice that it has three “bull’s eye” lenses in the center of three of its quadrants, but the fourth quadrant of the lens is covered by a brass shield, or shovel. When the lens revolved every 20 seconds in a clockwise direction, it produced three separate white flashes followed by 12 seconds of darkness — Cape Arago’s “signature.” The Coos History Museum at 1210 North Front Street, Coos Bay, is open from 10-6 daily except Mondays. Admission is $7 for adults and $3 for children under 18. AAA, AARP, and family discounts are available. For more info phone 541-756-6320.

Life-Saving Light The Fresnel lens was invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel and installed in the 223â&#x20AC;&#x2122; French Cordouan lighthouse in 1853. This more efficient lens (than a planoconvex lens) takes light from a small source and refracts the light waves into a concentrated beam.

OREGON COAST LIGHTHOUSES

PhotosByShaun.com Featured Lighthouse: The Coquille River Lighthouse was lit in 1896. For the people of Bandon, it offerred the hope of greater commerce. There were few roads on the Oregon Coast at that time. This lighthouse was decommissioned in 1939 when the Coast Guard placed an automated beacon near the end of the south jetty.

he development of lighthouses on the west coast in the 1800s was a must for commerce and U.S. westward expansion, especially when the infrastructure of highways and airports was non-existent. The rush to build lighthouses was as important as the push of railroads (east and west; and north and south). Still useful today, lighthouses reassure mariners that they are on the right course. From their inception, lighthouses were expensive to operate and, being a keeper of the lighthouse could be lonely and dangerous-think

of living on Terrible Tilly (Tillamook Rock) with rough seas smashing over the top of the lighthouse. By the 1930s technology had improved to allow additional options for maritime safety. Oregon’s Lightships: various Columbia lightships, a ‘lighthouse’ on a ship, marked the entrance of the Columbia River from 1892-1979. The last one is docked in Astoria, tours are available. U.S. Facts: The tallest U.S. lighthouse is Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, N.C., 200’ tall. The only ‘keeper’ in the U.S. still ‘keeping a lighthouse’

(by order of U.S. Congress) is in the Boston Lighthouse. It is the oldest station in the U.S. The U.S. state with the most lighthouses is Michigan, with 124. Earliest U.S. lighthouses built were in Maine, 1791 and in Virginia, 1792. World facts: The first recorded lighthouse was built by Egypt in 285 B.C., and was destroyed by earthquake in 1302. The oldest existing lighthouse in the world is the 180’ Tower of Hercules, near Corunna, Spain, built between 100-200 A.D. •

Section 6 is west of the I-5 Freeway. It is shown along with its neighboring sections. As you can see, it’s central city, the City of Banks, is positioned as a ‘hub’. (See City of Banks page) A Short, Short Story The settlement of Section 6 accelerated when President Thomas Jefferson completed the purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803. This doubled the size of the young United States of America. Quickly, the U.S. Congress allocated $2,500 for an expedition to discover what lay west of that purchase. President Jefferson asked his friend Lewis to be the commander. Knowing he needed help, Lewis asked his friend Clark, a man he had served with in the army, to be co-commander. Lewis was the botanist and journal keeper and Clark took care of the organizing and logistics. From May 1804 to September 1806. The Corps of Discovery traveled 8,000 miles. Fort Clatsop was the pivot. Lewis and Clark foung fertile valleys, fish, and timber. All were close to the Columbia for import/export. This area was an immediate success for the settlement of a new frontier and for the needs of all America.

Vernonia

Welcome to Vernonia - A quaint and charming city (Looking North Along Bridge Street)

by Steve Calhoun, Broker, Oregon Realty Co. Vernonia is tucked away in the Coast Range in the Nehalem Valley. It was founded in 1891. A small pocket in the woods. Small farms and family logging. It was in the days when old growth forests surrounded the small community and much of the Northwest. In the early 1920s a mill was built in Vernonia. The “Oregon American Mill”. This mill was the largest mill in the United States at the time. America was in a period of growth and the Northwest was set to meet this demand. Vernonia became a Boom Town. Scores of small bungalows were built to meet the demand for housing. Locals still refer to these homes as ‘mill houses’. Having been known for its logging history, Vernonia is additionally making itself as a outdoor recreation destination, as well as a place for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of more urban areas. Outdoor enthusiasts now can enjoy parks, trails, streams and logging roads. The Banks-Vernonia State trail is the first “Rails to Trails” linear state park in Oregon. This trail follows an abandoned railroad bed that stretches 21 miles between the cities of Banks and Vernonia. Its paved trail and gentle grade allows people of all abilities to enjoy scenic mountains, fields and forests and passes through one of Oregon’s newest parks, “Stub Stewart State Park”, located just 10 miles south of Vernonia. Stub Stewart is a full service park. Vernonia is an opportunity to live in the country, away from the hustle of city life. Many residents commute

the short distance to the high tech industries of Hillsboro and Beaverton. Another plus is high speed internet that allows numerous home based businesses. Vernonia schools were damaged in the flood of 1996 and 2007. Despite being in a recession, Vernonia residents passed a school bond to rebuild new schools. The result is the first LEED Platinum certified K-12 school in the United States. A commitment that shows community resilience and commitment to its children and its future! Take a stroll down Vernonia’s walkable downtown core. There is a diversity of restaurants, shops and services. An art gallery displaying many works of famous landscape photographer Chris Burkett, a former Vernonia resident. The first weekend of August is Vernonias Friendship Jamboree. A festive event with parades, logging show, car show, golf and baseball events. Come visit this quaint rural town. Two bed & breakfast accommodation’s and a newly refurbished hotel await you! Vernonia, a great place to visit, a great place to live!

Two Personable Fellows

Fly Fishing for Trout in Lakes

During a recent trip to Vernonia,

and my first time seeing Vernonia Lake, I had the very good fortune of meeting a couple of local personalities. Jim Smith is a self-taught painter who has succeeded where many would give up. His Christian faith and the enjoyment of life has allowed him to excel in art. His fishing buddy, Cliff Creighton has a similar zest. When not fishing, Jim is painting. When not fishing, Cliff is making “Persistence, not age, matters when learning art, and that is what I teach my students.”

videos on how to fish. I recommend that you go to Jim’s website, jimsmith.synthasite.com, and ‘meet the artist’. For Cliff, go to YouTube, enter ‘Cliff Creighton fishing for trout’. By watching a video you will know that this is a man you would like to visit. All that said, perhaps you would like to go fishing-or take an art class. The locals know that Vernonia Lake, a remnant of Vernonias lumber mill glory, is a tremendous source of

Cliff’s research has been extensive. He has developed videos that are easily understood by us frustrated fisherpersons. At left, he explains the various conditions to be aware of in a typical lake. He also has a video on how to use a pontoon boat.

relaxation. During the hour I spent there I saw a lot of folks enjoying being together. The couple on the paddle boat in the above photo are just one example. I grew up in a small Oregon logging town in the 50s, and I sense that growing up here would be just as wonderful. If you happen to see Jim or Cliff, stop and chat, they are two person- Steve Rowland able fellows. “Barometer, Sun, Moon Weather conditions all affect how trout feed.”

Oregon Ghost Towns An Overview

Conley house at Flora

General store at Golden The last building of Bethel

by Steve Arndt

Did you know that Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state? According to Rick Hamell, our state’s ghost town guru, we have in excess of 250. Another report says we have over 500, if you count places where nothing remains today. Any community that has experienced a ‘significant loss of population’ may be considered a ghost town. Old mining towns, farming communities, and timberrelated settlements are ghost towns today. Some of my favorite ghost towns in the state are Ajax, Buncom, Chico, Promise, and Susanville – places many have never heard of. Let’s see how much you know about Oregon’s ghost towns. 1 – Which ghost town, less than three miles off of Interstate-5, was the setting for the old TV Western ‘Gunsmoke?’ Ans: Three miles east of the community of Wolf Creek was the once flourishing gold mining area called Golden. Today a state park, several buildings still stand, all vacant, in this former town that did not have a saloon. Hydraulic mining pulled a lot of gold from Coyote Creek, but ruined the land for generations to come. The cemetery, next to the church, is a TV prop, left over from the days when Gunsmoke was filmed here. Ghost Towns

2 – What Oregon ghost town has the most vacant buildings? Ans: In the northeast corner of the state near the border with Washington, 43 miles north of Joseph, is the ghost town of Flora. Only two full time resident families call Flora home today. It is hard to envision a population that could sustain the 100-year-old school house that has been remodeled and sits in the very center of the community. Try to imagine this community with a bank, livery stable, post office, millinery, doctor, telephone office, flourmill, hotel, two stores, two churches, three shingle mills and three blacksmith shops. 3 – What ghost town in Polk County had its own college, that still stands, and has been under charter since 1855 but not held classes since 1861? Ans: East of Highway 99, at the corner of Bethel Rd. and Zena Rd., 15 miles north of Monmouth, are the remains of Bethel and Bethel College, founded in 1855. It had financial problems and eventually conjoined in 1865, with what is today, Western Oregon University. The main building stands today, but sadly in 2013, the old gymnasium burned. The post office, blacksmith shop, general store, and carpentry shop are all gone, and only a few farmhouses stand as a reminder of Bethel.

EUGENE, OR

Adventures With Foxy Lady After retirement my wife by Gene Terrell Cindy and I sold our home and many possessions and moved to Junction City, Oregon. JC is our travel base.

Rain, Rain and more Rain...we decided to chase the sun. We loaded Foxy Lady and headed south; our destination, Mesa, Arizona. The first night on the road was spent with friends Guy and Jennifer in Bakersfield, California. Missing one of our favorite eating establishments, we ended the day over a delicious dinner at Benji's Basque Restaurant. The next morning we headed East across the desert, a real treat this time because of the drought-ending rains. Desert grasses ankle deep mixed with colorful flowers everywhere. This night was spent in Quartzsite, Arizona to test Foxy's dry camping abilities and to take in the solitude and beauty of a desert sunset. In the months of January and February, the small town of Quartzite explodes with hundreds of campers who come to relax in the warm weather and to take in the rock and gem show, along with other artisans. We left early the next morning for Mesa for our two week visit with family and to continue a twelve year tradition of celebrating my father-in-law Floyd's birthday, which was his 87th this year. He and my wife Cindy and her sister Trena have a life long history of playing music and singing together and one of the great highlights of the visit is the many Jam sessions they take part in. Given that I have no musical talent, my father-in-law lined me up with a group of retired men who spend their time riding the desert and mountain trails on 4-wheel quads and side by sides.

Charlie Tice, the one on the left in the photo, was the leader of the group and had a vast knowledge of the trails we rode and sites to see and explained them well. Other riders were Jerry Koenigs from Iowa, Norman Carlson from South Dakota, Fred Schmidtke and Tim Backes from Minnesota. This was a great group of guys and we had a good time. The ride began in a parking area at 1700 ft. elevation. We proceeded up the trail of Four Peaks to it's summit at an elevation of 6700 ft.

. Along the route, Charlie pointed out interesting rock formations such as Dog Rock and Finger Rock and the

view of the chain of lakes off the Salt River that lay in the valley below. He also pointed out a section of hand-built horse trail that was first recorded on a 400 hundred year-old Spanish map as we crossed over many snow fed streams that were clear and beautiful on their descent off the mountain. It was quite a contrast to the many acres of great saguaro cactus and wild flowers that dotted the trail sides. After reaching the summit, we continued another 5 miles to an abandoned mine which we were unable to enter due to flooding. At this point, we began the 25 mile return to our starting point. As we said our goodbyes, I thanked each one for one of the most enjoyable days I've spent in a long time. My special thanks to Charlie who not only supplied my transportation, lunch and snacks but also the Arctic Cat quad that took me to the mountain top and back.

Leave Your Pet Alone In Your RV? Tips by Becky

Major Tip! Be sure to put a sign in your window that states your “family” member is inside.

ong ago, I purchased a book that suggested ‘RVers give the RV Park a note as to where they were going if leaving their pet in the RV’. What really made me aware was an incident that occurred with my friends who left their RV, with their dog inside, and were traveling and both were killed in an accident. That got me to thinking, what if something like that happened to me and I didn’t return? How would the RV Park be able to help? Maybe I would be in a situation that wasn’t life threatening, such as a road block or a mechanical breakdown or maybe I was out of cell phone range. So many scenarios . . .

166

Do A Little Bit More - Inform • This prompted me to create a ‘letter’ giving the RV Park instructions “In Case of Emergency” which included responsible contacts, such as my daughters. • Another part of this is that the RV owner must also inform the contacts of the when/where of their itinerary. • This ‘letter’ is also to be carried with the owner/ driver of the RV. RVing is a wonderful way to see our great nation, and being responsible makes it even more relaxing and enjoyable. “May your pets be safe and happy!” - Becky

Adventures With Foxy Lady by Gene Terrell of Junction City, Oregon

Approximately 16 months ago following retirement,

our plans were to travel. So, my wife Cindy and I, sold our home and many possessions, called the movers and set off for Junction City, Oregon for our new travel base. We found our 5th wheel too big for some of our destinations so we decided to purchase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Foxy Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, an Arctic Fox camper, for the shorter trips around Oregon.

Lighthouse, enjoying the heavy surf, and a bit of fog, that day. That evening we drove to Three Rivers Casino for dinner and a show with . . .

The Rat Pack, which was very enjoyable. About this same time I met my friend Steve who turned me on to crabbing and surf fishing. Our first outings were only day trips but proved to be something I truly enjoyed. So we loaded up Foxy Lady for an overnighter and set out for Honeyman State Park in Florence, Or., which offers close access to fishing and crabbing as well as an entrance onto the dunes for OHV riding. 2013 MVP ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES, Inc.

The next morning, during our tour of Florence, we found a wonderful restaurant called The Brown Hen Cafe, at 435 Hwy 101. We had excellent food and atmosphere and we would highly recommend it.

. During our stay, we took a side trip to Heceta Head

. In the short time we have lived here, we have fallen in love with Oregon and look forward to our next adventure with Foxy Lady. Oh, the fishing & crabbing? We were just scouting.

Expanding Your RV Experience The Oregon Outback Caravan Tour “Have you thought about going on an RV Caravan Tour but 30 days is too long or the cost is more than you want to invest. We had a caravan type tour experience on a smaller scale by joining a local Good Sam Chapter. Each chapter handles their campouts/tours differently. Following is one example of a local Good Sam Chapter mini caravan experience.”

Day 1-3 Sisters Oregon (Bend/Sisters RV Park) - Welcome dinner – Sisters Saloon and Ranch Grill - The picture to the right is the Crescent Moon Alpaca Ranch located in nearby Terrebone, Oregon. We enjoyed feeding the Alpaca. Some were a little pushy and some quite reserved. It was fun interacting with them, then walking across to the Boutique full of charming Alpaca products. - Tour of Sisters - shopping, ice cream cone at SnoCap and a huge pine cone pastry from Sisters Bakery. - Free time - Barbeque at the RV Park

Day 4-5 Summer Lake (Ana Reservoir RV Park)

- Stopped at Fort Rock to see the a volcanic landmark called a tuff ring. It is located on an ice age lake bed. If you have time, the near by Fort Rock Valley Homestead Museum is very interesting. - Fishing - we walked to Ana Reservoir and caught enough trout for a delicious supper. Oh, and my wife caught the first fish, the biggest fish, and the most fish. She also beats me at cards. - It snowed in the evening and the hills looked like they had been sprinkled with powdered sugar the next morning. - Free time – then an evening trip to Cowboy Dinner Tree for a great steak or chicken supper.

170

Day 6-7 Lakeview (Junipers Reservoir RV Park)

- Junipers Reservoir RV Park is on a very large working cattle ranch. Lots of cattle, wildlife, birds, great night sky, trails to hike and explore. - Free time to relax or tour Lakeview, the highest town in Oregon at 4800 feet. There are some museums, restaurants, and the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge is nearby. - Evening potluck.

Day 8 Crescent Lake (Crescent Junction RV Park) - Tour the area, visit the lake and do some exploring. - Dinner at Manleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tavern. How often do you find a restaurant that serves chicken gizzards?

Day 9 Home

We are native Oregonians and still find so many places yet to visit and experience. One website said that exploring Oregon is better than Disneyland. Not sure your kids would agree but it can come pretty close. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that RV sit and gather dust, gas it up, load up the family, and have an adventure. Either alone or with a group like Good Sam. There are many interesting sites, towns, and places in Oregon to see and experience.

- Roger Lee
