Born and raised in Oregon and having spent a great majority of my life on much of the ground detailed in the book, all I can say is this is the most poorly organized book I have ever seen.

Maps provide almost no usable information and different areas are mixed together on maps with no overview to keep you calibrated to which part of the state you are even in.

The data has no organization and areas of the state are joined together in a hodgepodge fashion that makes it almost impossible to keep track of where in the state the areas being discussed actually are...

What a joke..

I recommend this for fire starter, there is much better information available on the internet websites. This guys books should be taken out of print.

Waste of $$, but if you really want a copy, let me know I have one to get rid of.
