    Oregon truly is the most beautiful state! I took my first plane ride this year… to Florida and back. Coming back, I had a window seat and I stared out the window the entire trip home looking at all of the states we passed over. When we hit Oregon the sight was breathtaking. Oregon is just as beautiful from the air as it is from the ground!

    My great great grandparents on my grandfather’s side, Washington & Mary Cardwell, and their children came in 1858 on the Applegate Trail to Canyonville. My grandfather was born in Roseburg. Then on my grandmother’s side, her parents came in 1872 via a train to San Francisco, then a boat to Coos County with their oldest children. My grandmother was born in Coos County.

    Oregon, I love…My Mom was born in Hood River and is buried there…I’d like to be able to go visit her grave and visit living relatives in HR. My Aunt that lives in HR will be 102 this year… My grandmother was born in a log cabin in HR in 1899. I grew up in PDX. Moved away, years ago…Thank for hosting a contest…who ever wins will makes some great memories.

    I remember being a very excited 4-year-old celebrating Oregon’s Centennial in Independence, watching the wagon train come through town. My mother made me my very own little prairie dress and hat. It would be wonderful to visit the other stops along The Trail again!

    I work in the Columbia River Gorge and have heard many stories about the Oregon Trail. I would love to make the trek (if only for a few days).

    We Rode with 3 of the Wagon Trains for the 150th Anniversary of the Oregon Trail. This trip would be awesome for us as there was no wagons for the 175th.

    My great-great Fredenburg Grandparents were Oregon pioneers. They came to Oregon on a wagon train from Missouri. My other great-great Pankey grandparents were Oregon Settlers. They buried their youngest son Ross Pankey, near Baker City. After settling they came back to get the baby, and buried him in the Pankey Park Cemetery in Gold Hill, Oregon. I would love to experience a small amount of what this trip was like for the pioneers!!
