Jenny Fran Davis: My Novel’s Clique: Jenny Fran Davis’s Bookshelf for 'Dykette' (0 comment)
I read a wide range of literature, from “chick lit” to heady nonfiction, and when I love a book, I begin to think of it as a friend. It also inspires me in one way or another: its tone, its sensibility, its cadence, its structure, or its voice....

Michael Barton , September 30, 2016 (view all comments by Michael Barton)
Adam Sawyer been back out exploring around the Portland region for his new guide of Best Outdoor Adventures. Most outdoor recreation guides are devoted to single activities, such as hiking or paddling. This new guide aims to provide lovers of nature information for a variety of activities all in one place. Known for its great trails, waterways, and natural areas, the Portland region is a great place for different types of recreation. The guide book first covers cycling, separating routes between Road Rides, Bike Paths, and Singletrack Trails. Hiking is next, divided between In Town/Out of Town trails (most in the Columbia River Gorge). The paddling section is next, split between Flat Water and Whitewater (farther out river adventures). Each adventure includes all the necessary need-to-know information, a detailed description of the adventure, and beautiful color photographs by Sawyer himself. The sections for cycling and paddling also list recommended outfitters/guides to get the gear and perhaps take a lesson or two. Pages at the front of the book provide information on safety/first aid, the ten essentials to take with you, trail etiquette, and advice on hiking with kids or dogs. Also, Sawyer summarizes those adventures (and others not in this book) that provide stunning views. A welcome addition to your bookshelf or backpack. If you’re looking to get off your own two feet and get moving a little faster or experience the city from the water, get a copy of this book!
