Mom and Dad load everyone up in the SUV, drive out to a local Christmas tree farm, and turn the gang loose.

Camping in Oregon is our go-to vacation destination.

Take one look at the Great Northwest and you can see why. We’ve got beaches, mountains, high desert, streams, lakes, forests, and waterfalls.

 We’ve got it all.

And the best way to be one with nature is to get out in it.

In a way, we’re all weird.

I’m pretty sure it comes with the territory of being human.

Once upon a time, Portland, Oregon, like so many other large American metropolises was a normal, vibrant, family-friendly city.
