Memorial Day fast approaches, and getting out of town for the three-day weekend can be sweet relief. Here are five reasons to pack up the car and hit the road, each one a destination of a different landscape. Take your pick from the mountains, desert, ocean shores or rain forest — or take a gander at the highway-side weird.1. Among the trees: Hoh Rain Forest

South of Forks on Highway 101, the 24 miles of low-elevation forest contain 500-year-old trees and plenty of wildlife.

In Good Taste | Important questions in the search for fresh food 
Jun 01 2010, 2:34 PM

One of the main benefits that I find to purchasing locally grown foods is that I can ask the farmer or producer exactly what went into the process of the food, and perhaps even visit the farm. Do they use more traditionally organic/sustainable growing methods? Do they respect the land and animals they are raising? Do they use chemical fertilizers and pesticides?
