  Steve Prefontaine was already regarded as a prodigy by the end of 11 th  grade and went on to set a national high school record for two miles in 1969 as a senior, by which time he had made his college commitment. Prefontaine selected the University of Oregon and coach Bill Bowerman, who would launch Nike with Phil Knight. His hard-charging, run-from-the-front approach to racing defied conventional wisdom, but  Steve Prefontaine proved unstoppable  at the college level. Sports Illustrated made him the subject of a cover story in June of his freshman year as a 19-year-old. By the time he was done, Prefontaine had won three NCAA championships in cross country and swept the Pac-8 and NCAA titles in the three miles all four years of his career. At one point shortly after his college career, he would hold every American record for distances between 2,000 and 10,000 meters. Even though it wasn’t his strongest distance, Prefontaine went sub-four minutes in the mile 14 time...

  Clear Lake has a long history of being a popular recreation spot in the high Cascades. It was discovered in 1859 by a party of men who were searching for a route over the Cascade Mountains. They had followed an Indian trail down Hackleman Creek and after con­siderable scouting found Fish Lake and then Clear Lake. Clear Lake is about 142 acres in size and lies at an elevation of 3,012 feet, with a maximum depth of 175 feet. It is one of the clearest and coldest lakes in the Cascades. It lies just off Highway 126 about 21 miles east of McKenzie Bridge. Clear Lake is excellent for canoeing and other non-motorized boats.
