Central Oregon - View from the Middle (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Working, playing, and enjoying nature in and around Bend, Sisters, Redmond, Madras, and Prineville. Barnes writes with contagious, lighthearted enthusiasm about a corner of the earth instantly recognizable as the place where one ought to be. Amid grand, sunwashed mountainscapes and riverscapes, Central Oregon is the arena of choice for a robust pursuit of happiness. Nature's wonders here seem to magnify rare human abilities and spur winning responses to opportunities of all kinds.
