When your Senators work for you - https://www.merkley.senate.gov/connect/oregon-treasures-quest/
The link is to an Oregon Treasure Quest book put out by Senator Merkley’s office. It was pictures and a list of places to visit in every county in Oregon. To encourage Oregonians to travel the state. Not much of a story but wow, it did make me think about pulling in a few trips around the state, some times I just love living in Oregon.
And actually I am embarrassed to say some of the most interesting places in this quest -I haven’t actually been to. As a kid I remember living in Hong Kong (in the 70’s) my aunt came to visit and we hit all the tourist sites. The issue was until her visit I hadn’t been to any of the tourist sites , and we’d lived there for years. Feeling like I am in the grown up version of the same behavior, and its time to go hit the sites!
