The parade starts, as always, at 11 a.m. Get there early &#8212; and stay for BBQ chicken in the park, after.

We got a sneak peek this afternoon at &#8220;On The Road: Two Visions of the Tokaido,&#8221; which officially opens with a reception starting at 6 p.m. Thursday and runs through Sept. 13.
Don&#8217;t miss it if you&#8217;re in town. The exhibit combines two series of 55 prints each of the Tokaido, the first series by Japanese [...]]]></description>

One of the great summer pleasures in Oregon is the annual return of the Oregon Bach Festival, a three-week extravaganza of brutally good live classical music performed in Eugene and, recently, in Portland as well.
The festival makes its grand splash opening on Friday in Eugene&#8217;s Hult Center, where the OBF forces will gather under the [...]]]></description>

Eugene&#8217;s Civic Stadium was built in 1938 with help from the federal Works Progress Administration. Those bleachers you see are old growth Douglas fir, much of it donated. Now it all may be headed for the scrap pile, as it&#8217;s in need of more renovation than anyone seems to have money for.
This could be Civic&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

One of the coolest things about Oregon in the summer is the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland.
OSF is one of the top regional theaters in the United States; it puts on 11 plays in a season that kicks off in February and runs through October; and, best of all, it doesn&#8217;t do only Shakespeare.
We&#8217;re just [...]]]></description>

One of the wonderful little-known delights of Southern Oregon is the blandly named Upper Klamath Canoe Trail, which winds its way for 10 miles through the reedy, bird-laden waters of Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge.
Bring your own canoe or kayak or rent one (about $40 a day for a canoe) at Rocky Point Resort, which [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re not, as a rule, that fond of golf resorts. But Sunriver &#8212; outside Bend near Mount Bachelor &#8212; was so Christmasy during the holidays we had a ball staying there and skiing for a few days. Fresh snow blanketed the desert and it felt like a true winter wonderland.
The lodge was thoroughly decorated and [...]]]></description>

Rasmus Petersen, a Dane who came to Oregon in 1900 and died here in 1952, loved rocks. To see what he managed to do with them as an artistic medium, you need to travel pretty much to the middle of nowhere &#8212; OK, a few miles outside of Redmond, Oregon &#8212; and drop in on [...]]]></description>

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>

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>
