, surprise, surprise, the jungle! There’s a cascading stream coming down the mountains and you can swim in the natural pools at both restaurants (kind of like a foodie Dunns River Falls!). Ask anybody how to get there. Very...

Western Washington’s cool, maritime climate is separated from Eastern Washington’s continental one by the Cascade mountains. Over here, it’s rare to reach temperatures over 100F or below 20F, but these are...

Interesting point about water sources. Here in western Oregon, I have it a little harder because I can’t get local citrus. However, we have an excess of local water! Most of our water comes from snow in the cascade...

(the lake) and has a view of Whiteface Mountain. Nicolas on Main Street (actually above) does pretty decent pizza and pasta. It’s got a Greek/Italian theme going on??? I was never really impressed, but for Placid it was...

$6.99 a sixer here in Des Moines. A dollar more than Sierra Nevada Pale, or Point Cascade, or many other better choices. I tried it tonight. I didn’t like it. I don’t dislike Bud Lager, I just dismiss it as something I...

Claire! The Pioneer In is mediocre? Not by my standard. It’s got real mountain ambiance and is an institution. The Black Forest, formerly the Black Forest In in Black Hawk many years ago, in Nederland has great roast duck....
