Here in Oregon, we like to camp. The biggest reason for this is the vast amount of outdoor beauty available to us in this state. You can camp at the coast, in the woods, on the high desert, or in the mountains. We have lakes, rivers and streams, miles of ancient lava flows, magical sea-side mountains said to still contain never-found treasure, and wildlife that ranges from the tiny chipmunk to the bear to the impressive Elk.
Last week we decided to venture out to the Willamette National Forest. I don’t care where in the world you live, this is a place worth visiting! We recently bought a new tent-camper and wanted to try it out. This is the kind of camper that is solid on the bottom half and a tent pops up on top of it. Our camper has two double beds and a twin bed, so we had to choose a couple of our dogs to go along, both to take up some space and keep us warm in the chilly evening mountain air.
