Nordic skiing in Bitterroots is nice combination of hot and cold

POWELL, Idaho — After a day on cross-country skis in the Bitterroot Range along the Idaho-Montana border, the dinner of spaghetti with elk meat was just the thing.

Town known for Aplets and Cotlets sees bump in tourism

CASHMERE, Wash. – Stroll along the streets in the Central Washington town of Cashmere, and it won’t be long before you pick up the scent of sugar and fruit coming from the kitchens of Liberty Orchards, a storefront factory known for jellied confections called Aplets and Cotlets. That is, unless you wander instead into the Mission District, and poke around inside an old fruit-packing warehouse. There you might catch a whiff of corn whiskey or roasted coffee while shopping for vintage salt and pepper shakers and sampling local wines.
