5 Best American Road Trips
5 Best American Road Trips
#5. Pacific Coast Highway, WA – CA
Starting up in Washington, this drive takes you down the coast — literally. The Olympic State Park is your starting point, and you can watch the waves break almost the entire way down to the border of Mexico. The rocky cliffs and green forests of Washington and Oregon give way to sandy beaches and forsaken deserts farther south. You’ll also drive through some of the most diverse cities in the US — Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and San Diego, just to name a few.
#4. Route 66
This road is more than a road — for Americans, its classic cars, James Dean and the sweet smell of nostalgia. The miles of this trip are marked with classic diners, old school shops and towns that time seems to have forgotten. Check out Meramec Caverns in Missouri, and take a dip in the Colorado River. Let yourself be swept back to a simpler time on this American classic of a road.
#3. The Oregon Trail
Tracking from Oregon to Massachusetts, the Oregon Trail is a look back in time. Start off on the rugged coast of Oregon, and head east. You’ll have the option to stop at numerous sites, including Mount Rushmore, the Great Lakes and even Niagara Falls. Don’t stop there, though — continue on and end your journey of a lifetime with Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod and some of the best lobster in the USA.
#2. Overseas Highway, FL
For some of the best seafood around, and some of the best views of your life, you can’t miss a trek through the Florida Keys. Starting south of Miami, this one way trip takes you far out into the ocean, skipping across islands like a stone skips on water. Heading into Key Largo gives you a taste of the island life, when suddenly, the land disappears and you drive for miles over nothing but water.
#1. Maui’s Hana Coast, HI
At only 52 miles long, you wouldn’t think the Hana Coast in Hawaii would be much of a road trip. However, the winding road requires slow driving and frequent stops. The hairpin turns can put drivers and passengers on edge, so stopping often is recommended — not only for the fruit, but also to allow the car sickness to wear off.

Migrations
The longest wildlife migration in the lower 48 states is right here in Wyoming’s backyard. Pronghorn travel from Grand Teton National Park through the Gros Ventre Mountains and all the way down to the I-80 corridor, but their journey today faces an array of human obstacles. From the oil field worker to the wealthy second-homer, people and wildlife have once again found themselves at a crossroads.
SADDLE MOUNTAIN TRAIL IN OREGON
Saddle Mountain is the tallest mountain in Clatsop County in the U.S. state of Oregon. Part of the Oregon Coast Range, Saddle Mountain is in Saddle Mountain State Natural Area in the northwest corner of Oregon.
Saddle Mountain was created around 15 million years ago in the Pliocene epoch when lava flows poured down the old Columbia River valley. When the lava encountered the water at the Astoria Sea, great steam explosions and thermal shocks occurred to create a large pile of basalt rocks. The mountain consists of this volcanic breccia, which is a rock made up of broken basalt fragments that are fused together in a fine-grained matrix.

Oregon City OR|HVAC|Trane
At the SEET lab in Tyler, Texas—which stands for Systems Extreme Environmental Test—Trane products are put through 16 weeks of bone-chilling cold and blistering heat, in repeating two-week sessions. Some units endure over 2,600 hours of continuous testing, including a full week of salt spray to monitor corrosion resistance. Our technicians have tried to break our Climatuff® compressor over 900 ways, which has produced a saying at Trane, if a product doesn’t make it through our test lab it doesn’t get made. By putting our heating and cooling units through 5 years worth of wear and tear in the matter of a few months, we reinforce our philosophy of making products you can rely on for years and years. It’s hard to stop a Trane isn’t just a tagline…it’s been proven.

HVAC (stands for Heating, Vventilation and Air Cconditioning) equipment needs a control system to regulate the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system. Usually a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be taken (e.g. start the blower). Known in recent decades as the site of several large paper mills on the Willamette River, the city played a significant role in the early history of the Oregon Country. It was established by Hudson's Bay Company's Dr. John McLoughlin in 1829 near the confluence of the Clackamas River with the Willamette to take advantage of the power of Willamette Falls to run a lumber mill. During the 1840s and 1850s it was the destination for those wanting to file land claims after traveling the Oregon Trail as the last stop on the trail.

SAN FRANCISCO LGBTQ+ WEDDING // STEPH GRANT
MORE LGBTQ+ WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY:
This entire trip to San Francisco was a dream. First off, I stayed in a treehouse near the Muir Woods. I didn’t have reception, I went hiking and took a book. At night I would go into the small town of Mill Valley, CA and visit the shops and eat a quiet dinner with some red wine. Each morning I would bundle up and take a stroll for my morning coffee at Equator Coffee. Do yourself a favor and go visit the one at Proof Lab. There’s a surf shop right next door. It was perfect.

Witches Castle In Portland Oregon TOPS Investigate Part 1
Is Witches Castle In Portland Oregon really Haunted?
Check out the Oregon Paranormal Societys VIEW Yes Ashley does not equipment yet Oh WELL..She is still NEW But the video introduces Paranormal Investigators Team TOPS
Once a stone trading shack during the 1600s, this haunt is located at the crossroads of two trails leading to the coast of Oregon. At the site, it is said that there are ghost wars. If one happens to be there during one of these rituals, it is almost impossible for him to get away
The tainted version of the story describes a Native American stone trading shack, and claimed that its existence began during the 1600s. It went on to say that the trails were leading to the Oregon coast from the site, and that they are haunted by ghost wars. The site claimed that if one is caught in one of these ghost wars, they would not be able to escape.
The mere thought of a ghost war ending the life of a living person sounded too unbelievable to take in. In all, it sounded like a tall tale, grown with fertilizer from inflated egos and the desire to instill fear and excitement in others.
The area of debate, and much paranormal activity taking place nearby, is the old stone building that stands near the halfway point of the Lower Macleay Park Trail (the trail leading from Macleay Park to Pittock Mansion) in the Balch Creek area within Forest Park in the the West Hills of Portland. Nestled in the downtown vicinity, the park runs from approximately Thurman Street to Upper Macleay Park and stretching to Cornell Road.
The building in question was originally constructed through a Public Works Project under the WPA during the 1930s. But the structure was not a witchs house, nor was it the actual site of Oregons first hanging, nor has it been standing since the 1600's. It is merely a restroom and a resting area. The plumbing was washed away in the Columbus Day Storm in the 1960s, leaving the stone building standing in ruins, and prone to vandalism. While there are many reports of paranormal activity in the area, most have nothing to do with the old bathroom and rest area.
Visitors to the area, as well as those who know the history of the land, feel that any paranormal activity would be connected to the propertys violent history, and the events that took place between two families, including several murders. Since the trail also leads to the Pittock Mansion, some have speculated that any paranormal activity could be a combination of the two haunted places, and could leave an imaginative explanation of the nature of the ghost wars.
In 1850, when the population of the settlement of Portland was a mere 2,500, Danford Balch claimed a near 350-acre parcel, spanning the distance from the top of the West Hills down to 22nd Avenue, and all the land between Vaughn and Lovejoy.
He built a cabin to house his wife Mary Jane and their nine children, and by 1858 the family had settled in. Other than a tendency to drink, life seemed good. But things would soon turn deadly, when their oldest daughter, Anna, fell in love with the hired-hand, Mortimer Stump, who was staying with and working for the family.
Danford refused to allow permission for Mortimer and his daughter to marry, since his daughter was only 15 or 16, but on November 4th, 1858, the two decided to elope, and move to the Stump family homestead in Vancouver.
Danfords drinking increased, and on November 18, 1858 in a chance meeting with the Stump family, Danford attempted to take his daughter back but instead accidentally killed Mortimer by shooting him in the face and neck with his shotgun, near the area of the Stark Street Ferry. He would later imply that Mary Jane pushed him into it, and drove him over the edge.
Danford was disarmed by witnesses, and handed over to the local Sheriff. Although he soon escaped, he was later recaptured in his home on July 23, 1859. He was sentenced to death by hanging, and was hung on October 17, 1859 for murder. Danford is said to be the first man officially to be hung in the state of Oregon. The Stump family is said to have retaliated by murdering Annas brother, the oldest Balch son.
Against her will, Mary Jane was forced to divide the land, giving half to the children she shared with Danford Balch. She divided the land unfairly, giving the children and their guardians the least valuable portions of land, keeping the most useful and highly valued portions to herself. In 1897, Donald Macleay, who owned a portion of the land, gave his land to the city for use as a park, in order to avoid taxation. The area is now knowns as Lower Macleay Park, along Balch Creek, within Forest Park.

California Marker - First U.S. Branch Mint
California Centennial Commission Marker - Four years after California became a state in 1850, the United States Treasury here erected the first branch mint in California to accommodate the gold flowing in from the Sierra. Although today's waterfront is more than a half mile east of this location, the mint originally stood only a few feet from the San Francisco Bay and the Long Wharf. The prospect from the intersection of Commercial and Montgomery was a forest of masts rather than today's bulwark of skyscrapers.
In 1875, the mint was moved to Fifth and Mission Streets and the Commercial Street structure was rebuilt as a four-story, brick Subtreasury designed by William Appleton Potter. The 1906 Earthquake and Fire gutted the building, which was once again rebuilt, this time as a one-story, brick building.
The surviving structure was incorporated into the highrise Bank of Canton as the Pacific Heritage Museum with exhibits devoted to the history of the building and to the arts of Pacific Rim cultures.
Count Agoston Haraszthy, was the mint's first assayer and is known as Father of Modern Viticulture in California, Buena Vista Winery and Vineyards.
