Smoke from the fire did not hamper visibility at the golf tournament. This team just couldn’t believe they weren’t closer to the hole with their last shot. But they still had fun.

Office Depot with non-profit Journey Up are enthusiastic at the Adopt-A-Non golf tournament. Even the wildlife was excited about our tournament. Is the squirrel being persuaded to carry the ball into the hole for this golfer?

What should I do if I have a coolant fluid leak?

Get it fixed as quickly as possible. The engine coolant helps protect your engine from heat and cold. If it is low on fluid that protection is compromised and your temperature gauge gets info from the coolant temp sensor measures temperature of coolant and if that level is low, it will not be accurate to tell you when you are overheating.

Travel Oregon

HINES

Sandwiched between the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the national forest near Burns, the former mill town of Hines maintains an Old West welcome and plentiful outdoor activities.

Go fishing in high-desert lakes, birding at the wildlife refuge or exploring on the High Desert Discovery Scenic Byway. The national forest draws hikers year-round and hunters seasonally. Get a flavor for the desert at Steens Mountain Brewing Company, one of Eastern Oregon’s newest craft breweries.
