Robin Wilcox, Senior Parks and Trails Planner, with Oregon Parks and Recreation, shares what is being done to close the gaps and make the Oregon Coast Trail an end to end trail. In 2017, Oregon passed a bill that directed the State Parks and Recreation department to work with other interested agencies, local governments and interested parties to develop an action plan to complete the Oregon Coast Trail. Robin shares an overview of the Oregon Coast Trail, the action planning process including the process of collaboration with several other partners in a shared effort to develop a completed trail. She also shares some recommended spots for hiking and enjoying the beautiful coastline. The Oregon Coast Trail (OCT) is a long-distance hiking route along the Pacific coast of Oregon. It follows the coast of Oregon from the mouth of the Columbia River to the California border south of Brookings. The trail was envisioned in 1959 by Samuel N. Dicken, a University of Oregon geography professor, approved in 1971 by the Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council. The walking length of the trail varies depending on choice of passage across or around estuaries and rivers along the route. If a ferry is not arranged or available, an alternate route around the estuary must be taken; if traveling on foot, this means road walking. The length of the trail is about 425 miles (680 km) if no ferries are used, though the official coastal guide gives a length of 382 miles (615 km). If no ferries are used, about 39 percent of the route is on the beach, 41 percent is on paved road, and 20 percent is on trail and dirt roads.

Henryk Gorecki's 3rd Symphony, often referred to as the Symphony of Sorrow, is one of the most popular pieces of classical music ever composed and with good reason. Sonically dense, and often brutally minimalist in construction. In other words a perfect fit for saxophonist Colin Stetson's frequently off-kilter sensibilities.WIth little help from friends like Sarah Neufeld (Arcade Fire) and Greg Fox (Liturgy), Stetson has crafted a work that is as reverent of the original as it is audacious. Colin Stetson's Sorrow is music for grown ups that challenges, moves, and satisfies in the way few pieces canJoin us along with our friends Chad Clark (Beauty Pill) and Louis Weeks as we dive deep into this stirring modern classic from one of the most versatile and innovative artists working today.
