i'll take second place, just to end the race.

long story short, i was lured to oregon under false pretenses. what was supposed to be a trip based around the city of portland, crashing in free hotels (or friend's houses) and an altogether exploration of downtowns, bars, boutiques and ace coffee shops...in reality, ended up to be a lesson of survival in a forest on the outskirts of salem.

while i was completely ill prepared for camping and the 40 degree nights, i did learn that when push comes to fucking shove, my ability to not complain under a variety of headscratching circumstances, will one day make me valuable.

so i was trapped in the woods with nothing but hippies, ravers and vegans. but it was home for a few, hazy and interesting days. thanks for the memories oregon!
