Kayaking for Color Discover Klamath County 
The fall colors are exploding all over Oregon right now and this is no time for an armchair adventure. Bike, hike, or drive: it's time to push off. In fact, let's jump into canoes and kayaks and wend our way through the dazzling colors of Klamath County. Highlights include: Upper Klamath Lake, a 7.5-mile canoe/kayak trail weaves through the channels of Upper Klamath Lake near Rocky Point; and Malone Springs, where the water is calm, and highlighted with birds, beaver lodges and beautiful views. Get the details, links and maps, here. Photo courtesy of Roe Outfitters. Are you an Oregon Road Tripper? We'd love to hear about it! Post your adventure here.

Contrasting Views: Part 2
Garden City, Kansas
By Kyla Merwin Cheney
I don't understand Kansas. To someone who was raised in the Pacific Northwest, Kansas seems like a vast and barren wasteland. Where are the trees? The mountains, lakes and streams? Not one measly hill in sight. Add to my misgivings the fact that massive feedlots make the western part of the state smell like crap. Miles and miles of cow crap.
But look! The sun has dropped low in the sky and the light has turned soft and warm. Kansas has become a beautiful, bountiful land, spreading itself far and wide under a never-ending sky.
There is something mutually unsettling and fascinating about a land with no visible boundaries. I'm accustomed to feeling tucked in, enclosed, surrounded. Where could I go - in body, mind and heart - if I had no perceived borders? Where would I go, if my choices, my imagination, my heart, were as vast and limitless as the open spaces of this strange place called Kansas?
