Kelsey Ford: Celebrate Short Story Month: 7 Recommendations Based on 7 Collections We Love (0 comment)
I love short story collections because of how much they manage to do with so little. They can dilate, expand, shatter, constellate. Within any given collection, you can move from the moon to a diner after midnight to that liminal minute right when you wake up but are still knee-deep in a dream..

In Oregon, backpackers can hike wild beaches, enjoy colorful desert canyonlands, walk amid stunning granite peaks, relax in wildflower meadows, and circle glacier-clad mountains. Award-winning guidebook author and longtime Oregon resident Douglas Lorain details 30 spectacular backpacking trips in Backpacking Oregon. Lasting from three days to two weeks, these carefully crafted itineraries offer geographic diversity, beautiful scenery, and reasonable daily mileage goals. This in-depth guide provides all the information backpackers will need to access the Oregon backcountry, including the Oregon Coast, Columbia Gorge, High Cascades, Hells Canyon, and the Klamath, Siskiyou, Blue, and Wallowa mountains. A detailed trail map and photographs accompany each trip.

Jana Thomas , July 11, 2008
We tried only one hike from this book (the Oregon coast hike from Bandon to Port Orford) and the maps and descriptions were so far off as to be fraudulent. Guidebooks are always out of date, that comes with the territory - but the camp spaces he mentions don't exist, and the descriptions of how to find trailheads were painfully lacking. Also, almost the entirety of the first two days were spent hiking along areas marked off for Snowy Plovers, which meant we couldn't legally access fresh water or rest areas. Besides the inaccuracies, his poor writing made almost every segment of the trail confusing and led to constant backtracking. Most writers stick to a clear, linear style - maybe with some useful hints thrown in there, which would have been nice - but his weird non-chronological writing and unclear summaries were worse than useless. Also, for the record, if anyone finds the "second" trailhead after some mysterious *ing "pond and small cove south of Floras Lake" I will throw you a party.
