The Chronicles of John Trammell

I have visited many states in the past 4 years, and out of all of them; i would have to put Oregon on the top.  For miles around, all you see are forests, that streach out to the horizon.  Nature and people live in better harmony here in Oregon.  I was here visiting my cuz before and after our camping trip to Yosemite National Park; She lives in a town in the Portland area called Beaverton.  Out of many big cities i have visited, Portland, Oregon, had the best downtown I have ever seen.  First, it was extremely quite, not much traffic; second, no trash...the city was extremely clean.  I felt safe walking in any part of the town.   Today, my cuz and I went to the beach.  No one in 100 miles south or north on the coast line.  The sand is darker, and the water is clean; which you most likely can tell from the photo above.  After the beach, we went inland, to a small forest place.  The ferns, the trees, the moss, and all the green....it was just so beautiful.  I know this is going to be

I had the oprrotunity in staying at one of the most beautiful locations in the world this past week.  This place; full of wildlife, roarring waterfalls, and high towering cliffs;  is my number 1 favorite spot to travel to.  This place I speak of is Yosemite Nationl Park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains out side of Merced. My mom's side of the family: aunt, uncle, cuzs, John, and I all went camping together for a week in this wonderful place.  Amanda and I came down from Oregon, and the others came from Southern California.  Amanda and I shared a tent, John and Krystal had their own tent, and my aunt and uncle had the trailer with the 3 dogs.  We went to many awesome places, like Yosemite Falls, and Mirror Lake, and one of my favorites, glacer point; where you can see the view of the entire valley.  We rod our bikes alll over the place, and took the dogs with us.  We saw tons of dear, and 2 black bears off the road on the way to glaicer point.  It was very hard to leave when the day

Greetings from Portland, Oregon!  When i was little, i had a bike, and of course, had training wheels...i was about 4-5 years old....my grandma started getting sick, and my parents had to focus more on her on that time...i lost interest and never learned how to ride a bike, due to my parents lost of interest.  Since i am going camping with my cuz's to Yosemite National Park in 2 days, and they get around the pack by bike, they told me i had to learn how to ride a bike. Three days ago at the farm, John (my one cuz fiance)  Started to teach me how to ride, only ballance, i was unable to even get my feet on the peddles.  Yesterday, before i flew up to Portland, i took out my mom's old bike, filled up the tires, went in the back yard, and started using the peddles.  Today, my cuz, amanda, and her husband, bryan; got 3 bikes out and put me on one.  This is where i would go on the street with a bike for the first time.  We went 1.5 miles to a park, and back...so 3 miles we went.
