Oregon Parks and Recreation seeks public comment for camping rate range increases
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is considering rate range increases for camping and facility fees for the public and is seeking comment on the proposed changes.

Primus, Coheed And Cambria Stir Up Mosh Pit Of Heavy Metal Nostalgia In Oregon [Photos/Videos]
A diverse crowd gathered near Portland, OR on Friday for a concert at McMenamins Edgefield featuring Primus and Coheed and Cambria. When it was announced back in February, the co-headlining tour took some by surprise, seeing as Coheed’s heavily conceptual prog rock falls outside Primus’ psychedelic music festival milieu, though upon reflection, the pairing makes perfect sense. Primus has always had a strong footing in both the heavy metal world and jam band scene thanks to Les Claypool‘s idiosyncratic style and eclectic taste. The band recently toured with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer—both fronted by Tool singer Maynard James Keenan—and its heavy metal street credit may have actually peaked around the time that Coheed blew up on a national level with help from games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, which also featured tracks from Primus.
