That will be the longest day of the year. Just think, now the days be gin to get shorter again. That is beside the point, though. The last few days have been next to perfect. Warm sun, just a little breeze, and really plain NICE. During the summer, we look forward to enjoying the beauties of nature and wildlife in the world around us. It may be bird-watching, a drive through the woods, a row across the lake or a walk along a nature trail. The beauty of our natural resources and our wildlife is almost lost when they are too remote from many people who are locked out by dis tance. The average American does not travel for vacations more than 500 miles from his home, if that far. We here in this area, are fortunate enough to live right in the midst of a vast scenic area. Our Santiam and Little North Fork rivers are among the most beautiful in the country. They are right here—and many of us take them for granted. Coming from a state where rivers and forests are scarce I really can enjoy this part of our great state. While on the subject of enjoyment, I would like to say that our state parks and rest areas, are the best in the country. This is not just my opinion, but hav ing spent considerable time in our state camps, I have visited with people from many states. They say: “Ore gon has the best camp areas in the nation, and we have visited most of them.’’ Many of these people are retired folks, who travel most of the time, spending a few days then driving on to some oth er location. It is heartening to me that we have these fine facilities for ourselves and tourists.
