Oregon the Beautiful

by Bayley Wallace
Newport, OR

Oregon, the state of green trees and rain. What can I say- it rains half the time and never gets above 50 degrees and yet Oregon residents still are able to do their daily work. Where else does it snow on the beach, an amazing life time experience that you will never forget? In Oregon it’s not hard to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. No matter which direction you go, there will be a national park or forest reserve. Oregon is the place for extreme sports such as BMX, dirt biking, and four wheeling. The Columbia River Gorge is speculated to have some of the world’s best windsurfing conditions. We also have an amazing selection of hunting and fishing. In all the other states that I have traveled to, I have never seen such a varity of people and cultures. Oregon is home to the world’s biggest sea cave and deepest lake. What is there not to love about Oregon?
