Hello Everyone, I have created this forum simply because I love the state I live in. Although, I was not born here I have lived here for over 33 years. Oregon has such a rich history and is so beautiful. We have everything to enjoy from city life to mountains, forests, desert, wild rivers and our Pacific coastline. My husband and I live at the base of the coastal mountain range about 35 miles west of Portland in a very rural area. So I invite everyone to visit so we can discuss the history, travel or what is new in this great state.
