I actually have the 2nd Edition. This book caught my eye when I opened it up and it started with beaches. I'm so intrigued. Can't wait to explore some of his hikes.

"If it works for seniors, it should work for my little kids" was my premise for checking out this book. The intro to the book is pretty funny because the author doesn't take himself seriously. Our places to go list in Oregon just got longer.
