Whether tree climbing, cooking up a crawfish boil, digging clams and fossils, kayaking, snowshoeing, or soaring skyward, Grant offers 101 concise vignettes that intrigue and encourage us to lace up our boots and get out there. As Grant so aptly puts, Why live here if you dont go searching for those singular moments which set Oregon apart. Amen. MJ Cody, co-editor of Wild in the City
