June lives there!!!!

I don't live there, but I like Crater lake, Ashland Shakespeare festival, historic Jacksonville, the Klamath river, and the fact that they pump your gas for you. :D

Did someone say ice cream.......:awww:

The Fall is cool and pleasant, but Winter in the Willamette Valley made me depressed with all the drizzle that never seemed to stop. Was on a 1 yr student exchange, but was back in Chicago before X-Mas.

What is Spring like?

The one and only time I was in Oregon was in fall as well, but from what I saw, I really liked it.
Tho I can totally understand why you'd of headed back to the Windy City....:hangloose:

So enjoyed the tall grasses lining so much of their beaches, with serpentine paths to and from your destination.

Sat down in a quaint bar and grill in Coos Bay, and much to my surprise, looked up to see the comedian Rosie O'Donnell woman- handling a fish sandwich!

Landing in S.F. and taking US Route 101 (1) all the way to the Oregon border is breathtaking! I recommend it to everyone.

I have several favorites in Oregon from OMSI in Portland to the Ripleys museum in Newport (If memory serves). Central Oregon skiing Mt Bachelor as well as the High Desert Museum. But none of those attractions beats the beauty of nature. A hike to the top of the Multnomah Falls is a must for those able to manage it. For those not able to manage the hike, the view from the bottom is still extraordinary in and of itself.

i've never been..i'll have to check it out sometime..Snoqualmie Falls is very beautiful..breathtaking..i love being close enough to feel the spray off the waterfall..

That's awesome, Ace. :)

Some favorite destinations in my home state is over on the eastern side of the state: The Blue Mountains, Wallowa Lake, The Painted Hills, and down in southern Oregon -- Ashland, The Siskiyou Range, and in south east sector, it's the Owyhee mountains (Diamond Back Country and fabulous rock hunting).

Being able to feel the spray from a waterfall is great on a warm day... I find it a little odd to bring up a destination in Washington, though, in an Oregon forum.
