Finding Home

A long time ago I remember someone saying that you have decisions to make in life, like selecting the right job, finding the right partner, and living in the right location.  I fell in love with Oregon the moment I reached the Cascades.  Although I grew up on the south side of Chicago with no mountains or ocean coast in sight, I can’t imagine being far from either at this point.  It took a bit of traveling to find, but now this is home.

Additional Activities

Facilities

Many national and state parks are maintaining websites with up-to-date facility information.  This has been especially useful in the context of traveling in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Finding current information on drinking water, restrooms, and which sites are open makes trips much more enjoyable.

There are so many Smokey statues, posters, and signs around the U.S., you could plan a “Smokey selfies” tour.

Looking for an easy-to-care-for pet?  Mealworm beetles have an interesting life cycle and are inexpensive to keep.

Journaling has become increasingly popular as a way to interact with nature.
Contemporary journaling about nature often incorporates found and recycled materials.  Some artists produce “junk journals” from a variety of available resources. 
 
You are welcome to use recycled materials in this course’s media pieces and in your final portfolio.
