Oregon History
On a pleasant September day, I visited Champoeg State Park. There was a pleasant five-mile hike to take along the Willamette River. And, an interesting visit to Oregon history.

The Champoeg Park area is an enjoyable place to visit anytime of the year. There is something a little magical about the Willamette Valley.
