Reviews"No one knows how to get more out of our amazing state than Grant McOmie. He's been showing us how to enjoy the best stuff along the back roads and beyond for a long time. I suspect he might actually be trying to get away from the question everyone asks him-'How do I get your job?'-but I'm thankful Grant's made it so easy for all of us to . . . get away." -Paul Linnman, KEX 1190 radio personality, and author of The Exploding Whale and Oregon Golf "I've been a fan of Grant McOmie since his cub reporter days in Seattle. He is the voice of the great Pacific Northwest outdoors. Capturing not only the story of the destination, but sharing the legends, yarns, and accounts of the personalities that make Oregon this unique place we call home. Great read, makes me want to get outdoors even more!" -John Williams, creator/host of Wheelchair Destinations "Grant has long been a favorite of mine and now he's sharing the how, what, where, and when of his insightful outdoor adventures. 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 don't go searching for those singular moments which set Oregon apart.' Amen." -MJ Cody, co-editor of Wild in the City
