Weird Oregon: Your Travel Guide to Oregon's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets | Al Eufrasio, Jefferson Davis

#FunFacts #Oregon

Oregon lays claim to the deepest lake (Crater Lake), the shortest river (the D river), the deepest river gorge (Hell‘s Canyon) and the smallest park (Mill Ends Park). Portland is the home of the most breweries in the US (not surprising) and also the home of the most strip clubs in the nation (What!?!). We also have the most ghost towns, 1/4 of the nation‘s llamas and the hazelnut is our state nut. The only state to have one.

Sparklemn Definitely would not have guess about the strip clubs! 😂 13mo

dabbe Very interesting, and it gives me an idea. We should all have a state NUT that's in our legislature. We can vote for him/her/them every year--kind of like giving out a Darwin award. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to election season. 🤣🤣🤣 13mo

Deblovestoread @dabbe. Me, too but I have some prime candidates for the state Nut elections 😂 13mo

RebelReader My grandparents lived in Oregon for years. I want to go back and visit because all I got to see was their house when we‘d visit. 😏 13mo

I loved this book! Incredible read, and filled with so many facts! A great book to read to your students to get them to be little environmentalists! Definitely a good book to read before introducing a green project within the classroom!
