Fall Delights at Alsea and Green Peak Falls
If you’re feeling called to a late autumn hike where you can see fall colors and waterfalls, hug a big tree and see salmon spawning, I’ve got the trail for you!. You’ll find the Alsea Falls Recreation Site on a lovely backcountry (and paved!) route through the Coast Range. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), much of the area has been heavily logged in the past, but the South Fork Alsea River and its surroundings also have pockets of old growth and lovely waterfalls.

‘Drowning machine’ dam can come out, city says — if there’s money
If crews get the money to dismantle a dangerous dam in the Willamette River between Eugene and Springfield, they’ll first have to build another dam. This one at least would be temporary, unlike the Millrace Low Head Dam itself. That nearly century-old dam from a bygone era of energy infrastructure lurks below the surface, and for years it has trapped kayakers and floaters passing through. Dams like this are often called “drowning machines” because of their powerful recirculating currents that swirl like a washing machine.

The Avant Garde Unites Itself in Nova ’78
There is no sharper weapon than the written word. In other news, the Space Age is upon us. In 1978, Beat Generation writer William S. Burroughs, known for experimental classics such as Naked Lunch, returned to America after having lived across Latin America, Africa and Europe for two decades. To celebrate, he organized the Nova Convention, a gathering combining the most influential literary minds of the Beat and hippie generations (many of whom found their way into Eugene at some point during the peak of their careers): Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Phillip Glass, John Giorno, Frank Zappa and more.

BLM to demolish, replace restrooms at Shotgun Creek near Eugene
The Bureau of Land Management will soon begin construction at the Shotgun Creek Recreation Area as part of BLM's plans to replace restrooms at the site. The park will stay open during construction. Starting in mid-November, BLM will demolish and remove the site's wastewater treatment infrastructure. Crews will demolish the above-ground facilities including a holding basin and a control shed and fill below-ground infrastructure with rocks and cement. The BLM will remove the southern restroom and temporarily close the northern restroom. In 2027, after decommissioning the existing facilities, BLM will install a temporary restroom and begin work on the new vault toilet which will replace the current restroom. The BLM said it needs to decommission the wastewater treatment system because of "continued deterioration." The recreation area will remain open during the construction, and BLM will try to limit construction to the off season. The Shotgun Creek Recreation Area is in Marcola 20 miles northeast of Eugene. The popular day-use area includes 6.4 miles of hiking trails, a swimming area, creeks and 23 picnicking units. The BLM described it as a great space for family gatherings because of the combination of a "lush, forest setting, coupled with comforts normally associated with
