Medford, Oregon

    Our very next stop was Oregon, Medford, Oregon to be exact, which is a hour and a half from the ocean. There are only 30 miles from California. This was the very first state that we interviewed in the west, so we were very excited. We found out that this state is quite historic with Crater Lake, which is the deepest lake in Oregon, Mt. Ashland, Table Rock, and their beaches, rocky and cold.
    After all of that information, we were inspired to let them go on and continue. The next facts were very fascinating, like, in 1859, their state became part of our country. With the Douglass Fir as their state tree and the Western Meddler as their state flower and their nickname is the The Beaver State, Oregon is  a beautiful piece our western states.
    Then, they explained some fun things about their state, such as hunting, fishing, hiking on table rock, camping, ice-skating, and hokey. They are definitely a sporty state! We would vote “yes” in agreement with their sporty description, because they were really prepared when we asked them about what they enjoy doing at recess. When they replied that they play board games, two square, four square, wall ball, and jumprope. They have the University of Oregon, and they said that it is really rainy with animals like moose, elk, deer, antelopes, bunnies, and snakes as their animals. That was are superb trip to Oregon!
