it is a fragile spot and defensive space. visit all you want, we love tourists. oregon was settled by walkers and 2017, earliest known evidence. the dna from that shows they came from siberia said this is the first proof that they want to come to oregon. they didn't ride in the wagons. they walked over here and today when spring comes on the spriny like this and you want to get out, cabinet fever raises and you get a nice day in april and people are lacing up and hitting the trails. maybe there's an echo of the first native tribe talking to oregon that persists here. people still want to get out and walk. it's a compilation of the prettiest i could find in the state, the best hiking trails. they don't cover all of it, they cover like five-star resorts. that is and what people care much about what is the outdoors. 50% is national management and that plays a huge role but on some it pays more than we get back. there is controversy about that. some believe we should get that federal land but some say they are doing a nice job of protecting that salutes keep it in public ownership. i have five books that cover different parts of the state and each one has the height and 100 more at the back. people ask me have you liked them all. yes. one is called the obsidian trail. 310,000-foot volcano is about an hours drive from here if you want to go snowboarding in august you can do this but it's one of the few you have to have a permit now. wildflower field, black glass, glaciers and this is a five or six. one of the toughest trails this is a 10,000-foot volcano and you wouldn't think there would be a hiking trail but you don't need a permit you just have to have a love of stamina because you're gaining elevation about. next is on the idaho border and that there we are losing 5,000 feet of elevation and marked down to the state river so that seems easy but then in the day you've got to come back. >> this is close to where eugene was founded over 100 years ago and it still is the heart of the city. this is a whitewater river but that is what eugene is about, so do we get a bicycle to go over the pedestrian bridge he has more for pedestrians and cars. in this town scores 5-for you could go 10 miles on either side through a bike path, but was and did not know you were in the city most of the time. the bike lanes are separated so you don't have to pay for traffic and it makes it easy to commute and the former mayor completed the trails on both sides i and her crowning achievement was to build a bike path that told you something there was a time in no longer is important for china's petition. then there was a period of pollution and people were so upset they declared a greenway and it's now you can canoe from here to portland on hundred 50 miles. >> you would never see a farm or house or city how you would imagine that you are in the wilderness. >> it's always been kind of a magic name. it speaks of history. what we saw in the campaign was a long-standing tension between conflicts within the capitalist economy between the big guys and little guys and so on and as a candidate, he got a lot of mileage after the smaller folks and that might be the workers have lost jobs or companies on the smaller side that can't compete in the global interests. we see a little bit of a shift to the more traditional positions that are in favor of global trade and the import export thinking of these things so it is a great example of something that to be honest is conflict between the business interests. i think that we have the way we talk about the politics today it's not just a public interest movement of the workers and while the pensions are real, there is a long history of trying to use the government as a tool to secure their own benefit against others. i take the story all the way back to the colonial period or the national where you have the debates between jeffersonian and farmers that wanted to free trade across the atlantic clashing with people like alexander hamilton that wanted to protect the northern factory owners are terrorists and other legal actions. and a lot oin a lot of ways we g similar debates today. it is an honor to be here with richard for two reasons. first i say this all the time. i am a journalist and what that means is my work is deeply dependent on reporting and talking to people but it's based on people that have the time and inclination to do the deep research that richard demonstrates in his book. for all of the ways i get for thrk
