Into Oregon

Friday, June 9th, 2006

We are moving into Oregon now, one of 2 states where you are not allowed to pump your own gas at a gas station (New Jersery is the other). I’m not sure what it tells you about a state when they have a strange law like that, but it sure is a beautiful place. We came in and went up to an area in the mountains called Hell’s Canyon.

This time we camped at a beautiful state park near a lake and played Frizbee golf, which is surprisingly fun. We also stopped at what was advertised as a 212 foot waterfall. From the picture you will see, I don’t think the description did it justice.
