  2. True Blue – Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

    Blog: Trans-Americas Journey - 24 May 2012

    Founded on May 22, 1902, Crater Lake National Park in Oregon was the sixth national park established in the United States. It’s also about to fully open for its brief but beautiful spring/summer season. If you want to fully appreciate one of the bluest and deepest lakes on earth, start planning your visit now. The words “crater” and “lake” are right in the name of this park which is pretty dramatic in and of itself. However, it wasn’t until we arrived at the park’s Rim Village and looked down into the caldera that the full drama of the place finally hit us: it’s the blue.

    Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 12 July 2011

    Summertime is Adventuretime and coincidentally, like Heidi, I have found myself in Portland. And I got here by the most delightful way, the train. (From Seattle after a plane ride from SF). I love the train, and it holds a very special place in my heart much like the US Postal system.

  21. A Port of Call

    Blog: Joe's Trippin' - 16 March 2010

    Being 125 kms from the ocean, one would hardly expect a city to be a major port. Portland's name is a bit of a misnomer as it was a rumoured winner of a coin toss. It could have very well been named Boston! A progressive "green" attitude is fueled by it's relatively young population.
