I couldn't figure out how to copy any pics to post in the thread (I know how to post pics to FR - just couldn't make it happen). These are beautiful, & if you click on the photographer's name above each picture, there are more to see. Enjoy...

Sure photos are dynamic.
PC BS that comes from your state is scary

"Payne claimed all he wanted was a constitutional system of government, but when pushed he could name very few federal agencies that would remain in his vision of the United States."

What, are we supposed to perceive this as contradictory?

Terrific photos. I would think a ‘Sights of Oregon’ book would sell well in gift shops and bookstores in Oregon. Calendars would sell well nationally.

My sister’s books did very well.

Well, you left out Lake Wallowa,
and forgot to mention how the politics have screwed up the state.

I lived in Oregon in the mid 60’s, early 70’s.

There was a actually a pop song on the radio, called I think, I live in Oregon, that extolled the greatness of the State.

Back then it was still a conservative State and they hated the fact Californians were moving there in high numbers.

My cousin and his fiancee lived in Oregon. One night he left a bar, called to say he was on his way home and went off on his motorcycle. When he failed to return home his fiancee called the police. They did a ride along his route and, because he wasn’t a cute little kid or a boy scout, told the lady to file a missing persons report and that was the end of it. His relatives flew in from around the country and organized a walk along his route. They found his body where his bike had left the road. Needless to say none of us are impressed with the state other than to say that the beautiful woods are good at making bodies hard to spot.

Oregon is another beautiful state cursed with horrible government.

What prompted this posting concerning one of the leftists states on the west coast?

Live there, stay there, and shut up about it.

Liberalism affects many states and people of America. They continue to either enjoy the squalor and decline or they actively fight against the growth of it that will ultimately destroy society.

I've been to Portland, for example, and found a profusion of unwashed, unemployed young 'hippies' cluttering up the downtown section. It's only a matter of time until Portland resembles Detroit.

Beautiful pictures. So I was passing through in early 1980. Found out you could not pump your own gas out of fear you would put leaded gas in your unleaded tank. Told me everything I needed to know about Oregon. Have never been back. It is off my beaten path.

Looks a lot like Northern California to me.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful state. The only part of Oregon I have seen is right along the Columbia River.

I was a little surprised to see a picture of Texas’s Alamo above your photos. That is not the way the area around the Alamo looks, that trash pile is alarming.

Have spent half my life off and on in Oregon (now here)....2 hours from mountains, 2 hours from beach, 2 hours from desert...BUT, politically it’s not a nice place.

The Pacific Southwest is one area of the country I have not fully explored. I think I will plan a vacation out that way. I hear the coffee out there is great as well. I'll be sure to take a cup or two of good, hot black coffee while I'm out there. Thanks for the photos.

And yes, I meant to say Northwest instead of Southwest! That might be the airline I take to get out there though.
