Modoc Wars
In the Klamath Basin, indian-settler conflict reach a flash point in the early 1870s. The resulting violence produced a tale of drama and tragedy that has become a legend in the area. We examine the fate of the key players, Captain Jack and General Edward Canby. We tell their story against the rugged and surreal backdrop of Lava Beds National Monument. The result is a rare focus on a little known bit of Oregon history.
Hobie Cats

The Hobie Cat was created about 40 years ago to give sailing devotees the flexibility of launching directly from the shore and flying across the water. Field Guide travels to Hobie Cat regattas on Yale Lake near Cougar, Washington and on the Columbia River to see what makes this kind of sailing so addictive for Hobie Cat enthusiasts.
