• Go to: Plan a Trip and use the search tool to create a list of places you want to put on your "dream list."
• If you already have places in mind, use the "Find" tool to search for these places.

If you'd rather start with a Challenge itinerary that's already figured out, we have some ideas for you …

Click on the "Shortcut to Pre-made Trips" and choose a trip that interests you.

We even have a trip that contains Governor Kulongoski's favorites place.

Once you've picked places in Oregon that …

• … meet the criteria required to complete the Oregon 150 Challenge, click on the "Map out a trip" button to map out a trip based on your "dream list" of places.

After clicking on "Map out a trip" you will see your dream list on your the left and your point-by-point itinerary builder on the right.

Go have fun! Seriously … print your directions out, grab a few friends or family and have a blast exploring Oregon. Be sure to take pictures or write a few words about your trip.

When you come back from your trip, log back into the site. The destinations you choose for your trip will have an orange "Prove It" button on top of them. Click on it!

To prove you've been a particular location, upload a photo, tell a story or just swear that you went!
