How to Get a Cab in Portland Oregon
The most obvious way to hail a cab other than flagging one down directly is to use the phone. Phone numbers can frequently be seen on the sides of cabs as they drive by, but if you can't locate a number that way you can also use 411 services. Though phone books are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, the Yellow Pages are another sure way to get the contact information you need. If you'll be using cabs frequently from here on out, why not enter the phone numbers of Radio Cab (503-227-1212), Yellow Cab (503-317-0667) and other companies directly into your mobile phone's address book right now?

Oregon Caves National Monument
In 1874, Elijah Davidson entered the cave following his dog while hunting. By 1884, Walter C. Burch has heard about the caves and put together a party to explore the caves. Burch and Homer D. Harkness attained squatters rights to the area and open the caves as a tourist attraction. The first nationwide coverage of the caves was in 1907, when Joaquin Miller wrote an article about his tour of the cave. On July 12, 1909 President Taft created a 480 acre park named Oregon Caves National Monument.http://www.nps.gov/orca/historyculture/index.htm

Oregon's Haunted Lighthouses
- Heceta Head Lighthouse: The tower is solid white and stands 56 feet tall, with a focal plane of 205 feet.http://www.discoveroregonlighthouses.com/heceta.html Buried on the grounds of the lighthouse is the body of a baby girl; it is unknown who she is or how she died.

It stands 93 feet tall.http://www.discoveroregonlighthouses.com/yaquinahead.html The head keeper, Smith had gone ashore for some time off, leaving his two assistant keepers, Story and Higgins in charge. Higgins took ill shortly after Smith left asking Story if he could maintain the light alone. Story, a man that allegedly liked his rum began to drink and passed out drunk by dusk. Higgins knew it was up to him to get the light lit, so he crawled out of bed and climbed the stairs to the tower. After reaching the tower, he collapsed and died. From the mainland, Smith could see the tower was not lit so rushed back to find Higgins dead, and Story drunk, he never left the light again and haunted by the sounds of Higgins's footsteps climbing the ...

Crater Lake National Park
Stories of the eruption of Mount Mazama still circulate among the native peoples in the area. Although it does not seem the area was a home to any one native tribe, it was a camping area as people passed through it. The native people did not share the stories of the vividly blue Crater Lake with Europeans as it was considered a holy place for them. So it wasn't until 1853, that some miners came across it and started telling of the "Deep Blue Lake". In 1893, William Steele saw the lake for the first time. He loved the beauty of the lake so much, he was moved to begin what would be the seventeen year task of seeing Crater Lake become a National Park. Crater Lake became one of the first National Parks on May 22, 1902.
