Oceanfront green. Above, Todd Garrett says the 10th hole at Pacific Dunes golf course in Bandon, Oregon, is his favorite. “After winding inland through earlier holes, 10 returns you to the coastline in spectacular style,” he says. It is followed by a series of holes with similar views.Photo submitted by Todd Garrett of Salem, Oregon.

Craters of the Palouse. The 307-yard, par-4 15th hole at Palouse Ridge Golf Course in Pullman, Washington, provides an opportunity to score a rare albatross, or crash and burn trying. “This hole is all about golfing zen,” says Randy Hayes. Photo submitted by Randy Hayes of Moscow, Idaho.

Quality time. Mark Giustina and his son, CJ, cross a bridge near the 11th hole at Tokatee Golf Club in Blue River, Oregon. It is Mark’s favorite because it is where his son started to enjoy the game of golf. It also has an incredible view of the Three Sisters mountains.

Stroke of beauty. Below, Mike Martin tees off at the 145-yard, par-3 sixth hole at Coeur d’ Alene Resort in Idaho. He says it’s his favorite because of the view and because it follows another par-3. Photo submitted by Mike Martin of Sandpoint, Idaho.

By Karen Olson House

When I was growing up, my family did not have money for expensive vacations. But my parents loved to travel, so when we visited relatives we made the most of it along the way.

During long drives to visit my grandmother, we always stayed at a motor inn that boasted a rarity at the time: a large indoor pool.

After throwing our lug-gage in our room, we three kids tore across the lobby to the gleaming blue waters. We happily splashed about, feel-ing like the Rockefellers, while my parents perused their map for attractions ahead.

The motel was a splurge, so the next morning we ate oranges and mini travel cere-als we brought from home. No bowl was needed. Cut away the perforated top of the little rectangular cereal box and pour in the milk, kept cold in the motel’s ice bucket.

For lunch, we would eat homemade turkey and butter sandwiches at a roadside pic-nic table and draw lemonade from a green cooler.

Once, on an all-night drive, my parents woke us from a sound sleep because the fog circling the moun-tains was so eerily beautiful. As we tumbled sleepily out of the car, our jaws dropped as we drank in the sight.

On these trips, I did not feel like we were sacrificing by

not dining at restaurants, and I was glad my parents woke me up to see magic.

Most of all, I remember how relaxed my parents were on our affordable adventures. They did not stress about over-spending because my parents stayed within their budget.

Their simple approach helped us all savor special moments.

Today, you have many more choices. Indoor pools are not uncommon, and many motels offer complimentary breakfast buffets. But people still have to watch travel costs, and still want to have fun.

Love it or not, the Internet is the best way to find and compare a broad range of travel deals.

Airline fares, lodging and package deals can cost less if you book them online. Many travel websites and service providers also offer a weekly email that caters to your speci-fied interests and destinations.

Here are some tips on how to get the best deals.

LodgingWith a database of more than 135,000 hotels in more than 60 countries, www.hotels.com offers discounts and con-venience in searching for a room and rate.

If you are willing to be flex-ible, you can get deep hotel discounts on www.priceline.com and www.hotwire.com by agreeing to buy a room before you are told the hotel name.

You can designate a hotel’s star ratings, neighborhood and some amenities before buying.

If you have a large fam-ily, sometimes it is cheaper to book a suite instead of two standard hotel rooms. Suite-hotel chains with kitchens offer deals on weekends when business travelers are scarce.

Consider renting a fur-nished condo or house at your destination through websites such as www.homeaway.com and www.vrbo.com. You not only save on meals, but rates often compare favorably to motels and hotels. Quiz the owner beforehand, ask for pictures and check references.

FoodDining out three times a day can get expensive. Rely on portable breakfasts such as bagels, apples and baked goods. Consider packing lunch or buying sandwich fixings when you reach your destination. Keep the kids (and yourself) from getting grumpy by toting lightweight snacks such as nuts, cereal bars, apples and grapes.

This can save a fortune and make dinners out special.

Speaking of dinners, buy deeply discounted gift certifi-cates at www.restaurant.com or order by phone at (888) 745-6991. The website lets you enter a ZIP code or town and state, then offers a list of res-taurants with descriptions and menus. Routine deals are to pay $5 for a $10 gift certificate

or $10 for a $25 certificate. But the site offers even bigger dis-counts with $2 and $3 specials. You pay online and print a copy of the certificate.

For restaurant reviews, try www.yelp.com and www.chowhound.com.

Another way to save is to eat your main meal out at lunch time, when prices are lower. This not only is healthier, but allows your family to eat at more expensive restaurants.

Remember to look for kids-eat-free promotions. Check out www.mykidseatfree.com

With a little research, you can save money and still have fun

Travel on a Budget

and www.kidseat4free.com, or Google “kids eat free” and a city’s name.

AirfareTo find the widest variety of deals, use a search engine such as www.kayak.com or travel agency sites such as www.travelocity.com and www.orbitz.com for special deals brokered with travel providers due to high volume.

Before you book, check an airline’s own site for fares. You may get a lower rate, especially in the case of

low-fare operators.Most airlines charge for

checked baggage, and extra fees apply if you exceed weight limits, so travel lightly. Remember, you pay fees each way. Nest bags. For example, women can stow a purse inside a carry-on backpack as long as the backpack meets carry-on requirements.

If you need to take lots of items, compare the airline’s fees with the cost to mail them to your destination. Visit www.airfarewatchdog.com to compare airline baggage rates.

Car RentalsTry a number of time combi-nations for your vacation stay. Sometimes reserving a car for a week—even if it sits some days—is cheaper than a daily rate for a shorter rental.

It also pays to keep look-ing. Most companies do not require a deposit for reserva-tions, so if you find a better rate you can cancel the first without penalty.

Different companies are good for different situations. Enterprise and Hertz cater to business travelers and

discount weekend rates. Consider joining a rental

car loyalty program, which offers members discounts.

Package DealsConsider combining airfare, hotel and rental car costs in one deal. It may be cheaper than booking each element separately.

Check www.vacationoutlet.com, www.applevacations.com, www.funjet.com, www.faredeals.com (800-347-7006) or www.affordabletours.com (800-935-2620). n

Seek Out Free AttractionsThe word “free” is sure to bring a smile, especially when traveling. Paying for lodging, food and other basics can leave you feeling spent, and shelling out more money for expensive entertainment can batter your travel budget.

Fortunately, even in today’s economy, admission is free at many excellent attractions. As with finding any travel bargain, it pays to do research. Here are ideas to get you started.XX City and state searches. Check the websites of visitors’ centers and chambers of commerce. If you do not see a link for free attractions, search the sites with those words. You can sort by city and type of attraction on many state tourism websites. Try www.travelingmom.com and www.free-attractions.com for listings that include free museums, parks, concerts, festivals and zoos.

XX Museums. If you have a membership at a local museum, you may be able to get free admission at a partner museum at your travel destination through a reciprocity program. For a list of nearly 200 museums in the United States and Canada that participate in the Association of Children’s Museums Reciprocal Program, visit www.childrensmuseums.org/visit/reciprocal.htm. America’s science museums also have a reciprocity program that grants free general admission to members for other museums. Visit www.astc.org/members/passlist.htm.

XX Scenic drives. Getting there can be half the fun. Take one of America’s many scenic byways, either to make the drive part of your entertainment or to take one as a destination of its own. America’s Byways, the term for a collection of 150 uniquely distinctive roads, are akin to hidden treasure. They take you through magnificent, unspoiled landscapes and introduce you to friendly small towns and local art, history and culture. For more information, visit www.byways.org or call (800) 4BYWAYS (1-800-429-9297).

Outdoor PursuitsEnjoying the Natural World Around Us

Fishing catalogs feature hundreds of dazzling new lures each year. Who hasn’t been tempted to try a new doodad or two? Just make sure to leave room in your tackle box for these three types of tried-and-true bass busters.

• Plastic worms and fluke baits. Gummy bait has been around since the dawn of modern fishing. It mimics natural bait, such as earth-worms, minnows and other baitfish. It is simple, realistic, cheap and—most important of all—effective.

A favorite use is the wacky rig, which works best for plastic worms. Hook the worm in its midsection, leaving equal amounts of the worm to dangle at both ends. The secret of this rig is the fluttering motion of the loose ends as the bait sinks. Bass can’t resist striking it.

• Spinner baits. They are known by many names, and come in various colors and sizes. What all spinner baits have in common are a

skirted hook to avoid snags and the spinning blades. Those characteristics make them quite versatile, allowing the bait to dive, maneuver or skim the surface as needed.

Spinner baits are effective because bass can actually hear, feel and see the lure as its blades spin and flash. The effect works well whether using a slow retrieve or a fast one.

• Buzz baits. These lures are similar to spinner baits in that they have blades that spin as the lures move through the water. However, that is where the similarities end.

Buzz baits come in many weights, shapes and sizes, some sporting as many as four blades. They get their name from the distinctive sound they make in the water.

Rather than blades that flash, these blades churn the water to produce a throaty buzz.

They are popular because they resist snags, and the blades can be bent to adjust the action of the lures. It also doesn’t hurt that they are extremely effective for catching bass.

Free Fly-Fishing ClinicsFishing retailer Orvis sponsors free Fly-Fishing 101 clinics six weekends in May and June. Participating stores and outfitters are located throughout the West. To see if there is one near you, visit www.orvis.com/flyfishing101. Space is limited.

Outdoors 101: Estimating Remaining DaylightA good skill to know is how to estimate how much daylight you have left when out fishing, hiking or boating. One way to do that is to measure time with your fingers.

Generally, each finger equals 15 minutes. One hand equals an hour. Stack one

hand on top of the other to estimate two hours.

Start by holding your hand horizontally, just above the horizon. Count the number of fingers or hands from the horizon to the bottom of the sun. That will give you a rough estimate of how much time you have until the sun sets.

Estimates will vary, depending on latitude, time of year and the size of your hand. Practicing this technique will give you a more accurate estimate for each finger or hand.

Many of Curtis Condon’s fondest memories involve outdoor adventures with friends and family, whether � shing with old school buddies, backpacking in the mountains of the Northwest with his sons or bird watching along the coast with his wife. He feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to write about the outdoors and other subjects for more than 30 years.

There are manyspecies of bass. Three of the most prevalent ones in the United States are striped, largemouth and smallmouth. What type you are most likely to find will depend on location and the type of water you are fishing. Temperate climates are best known for small-mouth and striped bass, while warmer regions have more and bigger largemouth bass. Left,a fisherman releases a largemouth bass. Photo by Andy Bowlin
