While traveling through Oregon we saw a tiny house at one of the RV parks we stayed at.  These are trailers someone has built a tiny house on versus a camper.  As fans of a show called Tiny House Nation we found it interesting to actually see someone with a tiny house on the road.

Visited the Enchanted Forest in Oregon where the witches are not nice.

While visiting several of Oregon's parks we were able to catch some of the wildlife on camera.

This is a Blue Heron

This is a Great Egret

Prior to leaving Washington state we visited Tree house point.  This is a bed and breakfast run by Pete Nelson from the TV series Treehouse Masters (we are big fans).  There are six treehouses you can stay in to experience being in the trees.  We were not able to get a reservation to stay in one of the treehouses in the time period we had but we were able to take a tour.  "TO THE TREES!" as Pete says.

Because I'm a fan of the 1985 movie "The Goonies" we took a drive to Astoria Oregon.  Unfortunately we didn't find any pirate treasure maps or ships.  Nice drive and place to visit though.

Mount St Helen's was an unbelievable place to visit.  You can hear and read about the eruption in 1980 but it is something to see in person.

Pictures provided by park service on an information board showing Mt St Helen's before and after the eruption.  The entire top and side of the mountain were blown away.

In the background you can see the lava dome in the creator of Mt St Helen's.  The shape of the dome is familiar to me. LOL

This picture is taken seven miles away at the observatory for Mt St Helen's.  Even at this distance we are still standing on parts of Mt St Helen.  You can also see gully's beginning to form in the  ash at the base of the mountain.  The ash can be up to several hundred feet deep.

All of the trees you can see in the picture are no older than 33 years old.  Everything you can see hear would have been destroyed or knocked down in 1980.  Most of what you see has returned because of hand planting that was done between 1983 - 1989.

Much of the wildlife has also now returned to the park.  If you squint you can see the elk in this picture.  LOL  

Last but not least, Bigfoot.  He is very much a part of the lore in the Mt St Helen's area.  This is all we saw of him though.

Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve is an interesting mystery.  No one seems to know how these mounds were created.  They are not burial mounds of any kind.  The most widely accepted theory is that these were created river currents from the melting during the Ice Age.

Walking through these is like being in a maze.  It is easy to disappear because many are several feet high.

There's thousands of these mounds as far as you can see.
