This incredibly beautiful state is on fire. Oregon is going through a once in a generation event, wildfires have swept through more than 1 million acres, 1/10th of the residents were asked to evacuate their homes. My heart is breaking for the residents of Oregon, Washington, and California. 💔
⠀
We spent the last month in Oregon and found ourselves in love with its incredible natural beauty, quaint coastal and forest towns, and endless opportunities for adventure. We haven’t posted much in the last week as we have literally been on a journey escaping the fire and the smoke. Arriving to one place, only to have to pack up and leave the next day as the smoke rolled in. We felt incredibly thankful to be able to take our home with us, yet devastated for those who couldn’t.
⠀
A common question we ask when we meet people on the road who have been traveling the whole country is “what have been your favorite stares?” Without hesitation, we always hear Oregon listed in some part of their top 3. We all love this beautiful state and they are suffering.
⠀
If you love Oregon too, consider helping in 3 easy ways:
1️⃣ Text the word “relief” to 503-226-5088 to donate to support the Northwest Response Fund to donate to those affected by the fires in OR and WA.
2️⃣ Go to koin.com/giving for today’s day of support for unitedwaypdx to aid those affected by the #wildfires across Oregon.
3️⃣ Join me in donating to keeporegongreen an organization that helps educate the public on our shared responsibility to prevent human-caused wildfires.
⠀
Will you join me to help support this beautiful place? Even the smallest bit helps. It may not be your home today, but it was when your RV was parked there... and I bet you had the best backyard ❤️ #homeiswhereyouparkit ...

Shout out to the heroes out there fighting to keep our Oregon forests green. Keep the rain coming! 🌲🌧🙏 #keeporegongreen

Broken Top from Tumalo Mountain. Glad I hauled the zoom camera up this adventure. I hiked up Tumalo, got a few shots like this, and snowboarded down. A video on it will be out this Friday 5pm. ...

Lighthouses of Oregon: A History of Aiding Maritime Navigation

Coquille River Lighthouse.
The smaller bay lighthouses don't get as much attention. They didn't have the same light distance as the bigger ones, as their purpose was to guide ships into the bay. Still they have their own stories and are interesting in their own way.

My free documentary on Oregon's lighthouses is available at Youtube.com/MattCookOregon ...
