California has more gun control than anywhere else in the country, and with the World Cup taking place all around the United States, one has to imagine that anywhere associated with the event will get the highest security possible.

A bipartisan effort to remove a controversial U.S.-Israel defense integration provision from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) never received a vote on the House floor after the House Rules Committee declined to make the amendment eligible for debate.

Weekends and holiday breaks are our best chance to get out there, hit the trail, and explore the backcountry. Not all weekend itineraries are created equal, though, and on a recent 96-mile backpacking trip in Oregon, I discovered one that’s hard to beat.
