     ###  FOR SALE: hiking/biking books for the Portland, Oregon area.  ###
     ######################################################################

It dawned on me the other day that I am now 2000 miles away from this
beautiful area, so someone else could get more use out of these books than
I am getting. All books are in brand-new condition (I took photocopies on
my hikes/bike rides rather than the books).

Book titles and asking prices (or best offer):
    $6.00  _35 Hiking Trails: Columbia River Gorge_  
    $8.00  _50 Hiking Trails: Portland & Northwest Oregon_  
    $3.00  _Getting There By Bike_  (it's a map -- FREE shipping)
    $7.00  _Best Bike Rides Around Portland_  
    $5.00  _Bicycling the Backroads of Northwest Oregon_ 

Add $1.00 (total) for shipping for your order of 1 or more books.
Preference given to multiple orders.

Instead of cash, I'd gladly take in trade a book of 50 hiking trails around
the Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin area!  ;-)

Here are the detailed descriptions:

    _35 Hiking Trails: Columbia River Gorge_  (c) 1988 (second edition)
	From the Introduction: "Of the 200 plus miles of trails in the
	Columbia River Gorge most are within an hour's drive of Portland
	and they provide some of the best hiking in the Northwest. This
	region of uncounted waterfalls, steep sided canyons and lush
	vegetation is indeed a remarkable place. Every portion of every
	route is scenic -- no slogs through mediocre woods just to reach
	one viewpoint here. The hiking possibilities range from short,
	almost level strolls to complex, strenuous loops that can take one
	or more full days. And many of these superb routes are open almost
	all year, with each season having its special allure -- the
	wildflowers of spring, the softness of summer, the varied hues of
	autumn and the starkness of winter."

	Each trail has a picture of the view and a detailed description of
	the hike, as well as the exact distance, estimated time to complete, 
	elevation gain, high point, and open season.

    _50 Hiking Trails: Portland & Northwest Oregon_  (c) 1986
	From the Introduction: "With a change of 6000 feet in elevation
	there's a great variety of scenery, from the forested headlands
	above the perpetual surging ocean, to the gentle woods of the city
	to the high slopes where only wind warped and stunted trees
	survive....The only characteristic all 50 hikes in this guide share
	is that they can be done as one day trips from the Portland area.
	Aside from that, they cover the gamut for length, difficulty, and
	scenic features."

	Each trail has a picture of the view and a detailed description of
	the hike, as well as the exact distance, estimated time to complete, 
	elevation gain, high point, and open season.

    _Getting There By Bike_  (c) 1988
        (rip-proof, water-proof bicycle map of the greater Portland area 
	with roads color-coded as to suitability for bicycling)
	From the back "page": "The map shows a network of various routes
	for bicycling in the region. Some are signed bicycle routes, lanes
	or off-street paths. The rest are streets that represent routes
	that in general are better alternatives for bicyclists than major
	streets. The streets are color-coded to illustrate different
	conditions that must be taken into account. The routes were chosen 
	after consultation with citizens groups, bicycle commuters, and 
	transportation planners."

    _Best Bike Rides Around Portland_  (c) 1987 
	From the back cover: "With this collection of 34 bike rides, you'll
	explore new exciting and old familiar places throughout the
	Portland area. You'll travel along interesting and safe routes
	using easy-to-follow maps and clear directions in a mileage log.
	With the rides grouped according to difficulty, you can choose the
	ride in your area with the challenge you want. The loops range from
	15 to 86 miles, with a handful of overnight camping trips. Helpful
	information about bicycling and about the area is interspersed
	throughout the book."

    _Bicycling the Backroads of Northwest Oregon_ (c) 1984 
        From the back cover: "This fully detailed guidebook selects 44
	scenic tours in Oregon's Willamette Valley, an area offering some
	of the finest cycling available anywhere. A plentiful supply of
	secondary highways and country roads takes the cyclist along
	meandering rivers, through filbert groves, vineyards and dairy
	farms, and along undulating ridge crests. Historic buildings,
	covered bridges, settlements reflecting the ethnic heritage of
	their founders, picturesque small towns -- all come alive when
	approached at the leisurely pace of a bicycle. These trips, ranging
	from Portland south to Eugene, vary in length from 11 miles to
	nearly 150. Most are day trips taking several hours; two longer
	rides require a weekend of cycling. The complete trip descriptions
	indlucde mileage logs, maps, and elevation profiles."
