* Follow a life that never sat still in pursuit of either physical adventures or intellectual discovery * Bauer helped created cirriculum for climbing instruction that has been used by millions of climbers * Pioneered methods for coastal protection Wolf Bauer is the godfather of outdoor sports in the Pacific Northwest -- pioneering climbing instruction and safety, developing kayaking instruction and coastal conservation, and founding organizations to foster enjoyment and preservation of the outdoors. Bauer was a whirlwind of outdoor pursuits that inspired some of America's greatest climbers. And as an engineer, he developed methods for preserving coastlines that have been adversely impacted by human development. Moss did not grow under this man's feet. He was one of those unsung Amercan heroes who moved ahead each day to make a difference and, in his hurry, ended up creating a legacy of accomplishment that many of us now lean on today.

• Advice for keeping your dog healthy in the backcountry, including preventative and emergency care • Descriptive photos and important points provided for easy reference • Handy, carry-along size We love bringing our dogs along on outdoor adventures, whether backpacking , hiking, or hunting, and they love coming just as much. But just like humans, our canine partners can suffer an illnesses or accidents when we’re in the backcountry, a long way from home. If your dog should seem sick, do you know how to check? What would you do if he suddenly collapsed? These and many other obvious and not so obvious health issues are described in Canine Field Medicine. Veternarian Sid Gustafson provides tips on how to examine your dog, and what to do if he’s choking, coughing, wounded, bleeding, goes lame, or has a head injury. He discusses eyes, ears, and mouth health and the first aid that’s required for things like frostbite, heat stroke, hypothermia, and sunburn. The point of every outdoor adventure is to have fun and come back safely. Being prepared for the worst is generally the best way to stack the odds of a successful outing in our favor―for humans and for our four-legged friends.

This is a lively, authentic account of another world and time, another way of life; the first-hand story of a "schoolma'am" who spent the summer of 1943 as a fire lookout for the U.S. Forest Service. Her post was Tatoosh Peak, near Mt. Rainier in Washington , where she lived in a glass walled hut at 6300 feet, keeping fire watch on the timber of the Columbia National Forest.

* Filled with historical photographs * Includes excerpts from diaries, newspaper files, community histories, and personal interviews The highway through Washington's Cascades at Snoqualmie Pass is one of the most heavily used mountain transportation routes in the country. Yet, within sight of its concrete ribbons, one can find sections of the primitive wagon road that brought prairie-state settlers through the pass to open up the Puget Sound country. Traces can still be found of an even earlier route, the trail used by the Indians for hunting and trading. Others traveled the pass as civilization moved West: fur traders, miners, military horse columns, cattle drovers, farmers, precursors of today's land developers. A little ferryboat once crossed Lake Keechelus to link up the wagon road; then logging and dam building altered the lake forever. The coming of the automobile; the establishment of two railways and then subsequent waves of highway construction brought the pass into the modern era, which also saw the birth of the ski resort in the Northwest. This is the story of the evolution of the Snoqualmie Pass, from narrow Indian trail to multi-laned Interstate 90, and of the people who took part along the way. For the hundreds who drive through the pass daily, for the countless thousands more who have skied, hiked, snowshoed and climbed in this alpine playground, it's a fascinating tale.
