Seski’s Oregon 150 Challenge – Outdoors

The official mascot of Oregon’s 150th Birthday, Seski the Sasquatch, has been hard at work completing his Oregon 150 Challenge. While Seski isn’t eligible to win one of the Grand Oregon Tours, he still wanted to get to get to know Oregon a bit better and complete the challenge.

Seski on the boat. But, where are the other passengers?

His first feat? A Hellgate Jetboat Excursion.

Seski looks carefree and relaxed, but we happen to know that he was a wee bit nervous about his jetboat ride. He sent us the following messages on Twitter.

Seski get nervous for Jetboat in Grants Pass. Not natural habitat and not like wet fur.

It turned out to be alright for Seski, after his ride, he told us this:

Seski survive… barely. Seski need nap from adrenaline rush. Lots of new friends. Content!

We’re proud of Seski for facing his fears and hopping on that jetboat! He’s fulfilled the Outdoorsy Stuff requirement and now only needs to go to four more places to be designated an Official Oregonian!

So, tell us.. Where should Seski go next? Want to follow Seski as he completes the rest of his challenge? Follow him on Twitter, or become his Friend on Facebook!
