It&#8217;s fall, when a young buck&#8217;s fancy turns to thoughts of love.
Deer do it in the fall, in other words. By spring, the does are too busy with babies to give the bucks a second thought.
But this time of year, romance beckons. Two bucks, like this guy in the photo, have been hanging around our [...]]]></description>

Almost exactly a year ago she brought the last pair of twins to our attention.
This morning the slot-eared doe that seems always to be under foot in our yard showed up with her latest brood &#8212; scampering and jumping and then taking cover under mom.

		<description><![CDATA[
The Wallowa Mountains in northeast Oregon are a spectacular glaciated granite range &#8212; not a series of bumps in forested terrain like the Cascades to the west &#8212;  and are best seen on foot, hiking and backpacking.
If walking, hiking, backpacking and sweating your way up a steep mountain don&#8217;t appeal to you, there&#8217;s the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Joseph, Oregon, is an intentionally quaint town (though not as dreadful as Sisters) in the far northeast corner of Oregon, near Wallowa Lake and the Eagle Cap Wilderness, for which it serves as a gateway. Some years ago it became a center for bronze casting and has billed itself ever since as an art town, [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a while since we tried Amtrak, so &#8212; feeling optimistic &#8212; we took the train back up to Eugene from our recent trip to Klamath Falls.
The bad news: We arrived home two and a half hours late. That&#8217;s on a four-hour trip. The Coast Starlight is so perpetually late on its northward run [...]]]></description>

Just over the California border, south of the Oregon city of Klamath Falls, Lava Beds National Monument is a little known and fascinating part of the federal National Park system. Established in the 1920s, the monument contains an extensive system of lava beds resulting from an ancient shield volcano eruption. If that sounds like eighth-grade [...]]]></description>

Old growth forest is kind of like pornography &#8212; no one can define it but all Oregonians know it when we see it.
The easy definitions you hear are pretty good but you don&#8217;t want to push them to the wall. &#8220;A forest that&#8217;s never been logged.&#8221; &#8220;Trees that haven&#8217;t been cut for 500 years.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

Wild turkeys have a reputation among hunters as a wary, elusive bird, difficult to stalk and hunt. These hunters haven&#8217;t seen the wild turkeys of Oregon&#8217;s Willamette Valley.
Stocked by Oregon&#8217;s Department of Fish and Wildlife since 1975, these Rio Grande turkeys have become an affable resident in some rural and even suburban neighborhoods, a pest [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I&#8217;m washing this morning,&#8221; the note says on this Aug. 5, 1950 postcard of Mount Hood. &#8220;Just a line to let you know Harold isn&#8217;t going to have his operation until September. Hope you have hospital bed by now. Love, Delphia.&#8221;

The good ones are all written by one guy: Bill Sullivan.
Bill has hiked every trail in Oregon worth hiking, and a few that aren&#8217;t. He&#8217;s walked from one end of the state to the other and chronicled the adventure in Looking for Coyote.
But he&#8217;s best known here for his &#8220;100 Hikes&#8230;&#8221; series of trail guides, [...]]]></description>
