Adventures in Oregon
In April 2008, I wrote an essay and drew a picture for the explOREGON contest. I never imagined that those simple things would lead to my winning a trip to Oregon. Like anyone else, I thought I didn’t have a chance. So when I listened to the message that I had won, I could hardly believe it. I, a normal girl from Kansas, had won an amazing trip (note: so be brave and spend the hour or two it may take to enter a contest—you never know what might happen!).

Our flights from Kansas took about five hours. As we flew into Oregon, I saw Mount Hood. It was big, beautiful and amazing.
