Featured Book
Tales from Oregon State Sports
Author: Jeff Welsch; Buy New: $13.57
"Tales from Oregon State Sports" offers a kalidescopic look at
the rich, often colorful history of sports at Oregon State
University. Co-authors Jeff Welsch and George P. Edmonston Jr.
have done a wonderful job of bringing to light some of the
lesser-known moments in the OSU heritage, but they've also
managed to make some of the more familiar legends (such as the
fabled "Giant Killers" OSU football team of 1967) seem fresh.
Another excellent aspect of the volume is that the authors
have sought to portray the total spectrum of athletics over
the past century-plus on the Corvallis campus. Even though the
basketball and football programs have gained the most fame,
there's also plenty in here about wrestling, baseball, women's
sports, track and field, and more.
Featured Attraction
Heceta Head Lighthouse
Heceta Head State Park (which includes Devils Elbow State
Park) is located in a cove at the mouth of Cape Creek. There
are picnic tables sheltered from the wind and a great view of
the ocean. A short trail leads to the historic Heceta Head
lighthouse and lighthouse keeper's house. A recently-completed
trail gives you a spectacular view of the coast north to Cape
Perpetua. Heceta Head trail is part of a 7-mile network.
Trails of varying difficulty feature beach and wildlife
viewing areas. Wildlife refuge islands feature a view of
puffins, cormorants, gulls, and other bird nesting areas. Sea
lions and whales can be seen from the beach and cliff-top
lighthouse.
