Go West, Young Man

DateFriday, December 9, 2011 at 07:55PM

I've been saying it for years, but this beautiful time-lapse video from Uncage the Soul Productions, shot over six months, says it more eloquently: Oregon is the place. I spent at least part of every summer of my childhood in Oregon--my dad's from Roseburg, in southern Oregon--and have been up and down the peak you see below, Mt. Thielsen, probably a dozen times.

 

Finding Oregon from Uncage the Soul Productions on Vimeo.

My hope is that the vicarious thrill of this video will be enough Oregon for most people--we don't want it getting crowded out there.
