Finding the Unexpected in Oakridge

March 15, 2016
Oakridge, you stole my heart. You surpassed expectations and you provided a much-need respite from the daily grind. From your trails to your pint glasses, from your coffee shops to your hot springs and the many friends I met in between, it's safe to say I've fallen in love.

Last October, I had the opportunity to take a driving tour through Southeastern Oregon. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. I’d heard of the hot springs and the mountains, but what I was most interested in was the desert. It seemed crazy to me that Oregon could boast yet another ecosystem. So… More
