Lori, lovely job on your Oregon feature.

Awwww.......thank you, Donaeus.

It's a lovely state and I find the stories about the history of the area very interesting. When I started researching Oregon I got caught up in the Diaries and Memoirs of some of the first people to travel the Oregon Trail. A fascinating glimpse into the day to day lives of some very brave and tough people.

My parents got in last night from Washington state which is in that neck of the woods. It's the second trip they've made in recent months and are raving about it more than the last time. They ventured out of WA but it was to go up into Vancouver since neither of them had ever been to Canada. I'd love the opportunity to go to WA or Oregon.

Oh wow, thanks for the link! Extremely interesting insight into what it took to make that journey.
