Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Oregon is such a beautiful state. Some of my ancestry goes back to 1849 in Oregon, when my great great great grandparents, the Graves, came up the Oregon trail and homesteaded on what is now Mount Angel, once called Graves Butte, amongst other things. My adopted dad was born in Echo, a small town noteworthy for having the first woman chief of police in America. When attending Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, bike rides often took me down into Oregon. That was a time when my vegetarianism did lots of maturing with the generous nurturing of folks from the Seventh-Day Adventist community in the area. I presently live in Ashland, the most vegan-friendly place in know of... Well, nice to know not everyone in this group is so far away...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Tom, I am a transplanted Californian. I was born and raised in San Diego. I agree that parts of Oregon is beautiful, but I live in the high desert bordering Idaho. I am an Adventist (for about 12 years). I love spicy food (esp. Mexican).
