Did you know...

...that I'm originally from the great state of Oregon? Well if you didn't, then I guess this could count towards that saying, "you learn something new every day". And for those of you who do know I'm from Oregon, here a couple of facts that I can almost bet that you didn't know:

FACT: Oregon has more ghost towns than any other state (and come to think of it, I may have come from one of them...just kidding Mom and Dad!).

FACT: Oregon and New Jersey are the only states without self-serve gas stations

FACT: Oregon's state birthday is on February 14, Valentine's Day (ahhh, how sweet)

FACT: Official State Dance: Square Dance (now that's just funny)

Anyway, I could go on and on with these educational tidbits, but I won't...and you can all thank me later. Just one more before I go, along with a couple of pictures I took of the beautiful Crater Lake. In my eyes it is a must see!

FACT: Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and is formed in the remains of an ancient volcano. And just in case you would like to learn more about Crater Lake, click here.
