Ashland, Oregon

We made it through the national park to a main road and gas station which was desperately needed. Imagine back in the day, back to the time when all gas stations had "full service". Do you remember that time? Full Service meant someone pumped that gas for you. Well they do that at every station in the whole state. We stumbled across a pump attendant who grew up in the Chicago suburbs. We had a great talk about the difference in the areas and environment and lifestyle. It was such a neat things to meet someone who knew where we came from and we told him about our journey to this raw vegan food fest. He said it is a wonderful place to live and I would agree in just the short time we were in the state. Another benefit besides the beauty, healthy lifestyle, easy access to local fresh organic food and clean water is no sales tax or state tax. Wow. The kids and I started to re-evaluate our future home destination.
