If you're a certain age, or getting close to it, you might hear something like this: "Now that you're older, you need to invest more conservatively." But what exactly does this mean? Read more...
Tesla - Tips for Saving Money Around the House
Use fans instead of air conditioning when possible. Fans use less energy. Also, if used right, in conjunction with your air conditioner, they can help reduce energy costs by helping you feel more comfortable at higher temperatures.

Pacific Crest Trail Hikes
 In Oregon, the
Pacific Crest Trail passes natural wonders like Crater Lake, the Three Sisters Mountains and Mt. Hood before ending in the town of Cascade Locks at the Bridge of the Gods. Get a taste of the Oregon portion of the Pacific Crest Trail this summer with a day hike.
Timberline Lodge: What a great combo - the epic Pacific Crest Trail and the lovely, historic lodge constructed at the base of Mt. Hood by the Works Progress Administration. Several hikes leave right from the lodge. Check out the easy 4.4-mile roundtrip hike to
Zigzag Canyon, the short but steep 2.2-mile hike to
Silcox Hut or the strenuous 12.2-mile loop to
Paradise Park and back.
Click here for trail guide.
Cascade Locks: Enjoy a moderate, 4.4-mile roundtrip hike from the parking lot near the Bridge of the Gods up to
Dry Creek Falls. The trail goes through lush forest to arrive at the base of the 72-foot waterfall. Lengthen the hike by continuing on another 1.6 miles to see the interesting basalt pinnacles between Dry Creek and Herman Creek.
