A Profile of Eagle Rock Lodge

Time.
The only memories we keep are moments in time, as the days and weeks pass by. Years stretch out in our wake, disappearing like quiet ripples in time.
I know a place, though, where time slows down. There, in a little pocket of tranquility on the McKenzie River, surrounded by lush gardens, sits Eagle Rock Lodge. Ensconced in your exquisite room, with a fireplace and view of the river, you'll find yourself in the good care of innkeepers Debbie and Randy Dersham. Your only critical decisions for the next few days will be what to do first: read a good book, hike or mountain bike the mountain trails, or fish the world-class river.
Innkeeping is not a lost art, I'm happy to report. Anyone who has stayed at a "chain" hotel understands the difference between people and people people. The Dershams are the latter, greeting you with complimentary wine in the evenings and warm cookies at bedtime. READ MORE

Mount Pisgah Arboretum November 27tTake a walk through the Arboretum's forested trails with experienced mycologists Molly Widmer and Chris Melotti of the Cascade Mycological Society, and hunt for those fascinating fungi. Discuss identification, habitat, characteristics, natural history and the role of fungi within an ecosystem. Rain or shine.  We searched the World Wide Web to bring you a listing of all the special wine events in Lane County this holiday weekend, as a Road Tripper special report.

JakPacBy Scott StaatsOregon Lakes & RIvers' GEAR HEAD
 It's a jacket, it's a tent, it's a sleeping bag - it's super garment. I've always said that I like gear that has more than one use and the new JakPak certainly meets that standard. I must also say that I've never considered wearing a tent or sleeping in my jacket. The all-in-one design incorporates a waterproof, breathable jacket with an integrated tent, mosquito netting and sleeping bag. READ MORE
