Oregon

I will be leaving Maryland here shortly to go to Oregon to study for a semester. I was wondering if any from Oregon could suggest any cool things that I should visit while I am there. I will be at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, OR, 15 miles away from the California border.

I will be driving across America (2800 miles or so) so if there is anything cool that I should check out along the way please let me know.

Well, I'd say see St. Louis, but where kinda out of your way.

Rock City

I forgot that it's in Georga. But check it out on the web anyway. It's pretty cool actually. My parents took me there as a kid. Some of the older members of the board may remember the little red barns everywhere that used to say "See Rock City".

Oregon rocks. Don't live there, but have been there a couple dozen times. Looks like you're a short jaunt from Medford - I'd highly suggest the rafting trips along the Rogue River. Crater Lake is a decent trip, too. I was just there a few weeks ago but Crater Lake was pretty much closed because the smoke from the forest fires was so bad. Bummer. Seen it before, though.
I must also mention the Ocean (duh) and the Redwood Forests just a little ways into California along the coast.
Driving out there, you might want to spend a day or two at Yellowstone. Beautiful country all over the Rockies. You really can't go wrong no matter which route you take.
Good Luck!
