According to the below description (found HERE) the Tiki Lodge in Medford "is a wonderful selection for your next spree". But I'd be suspicious. To me the write up looks like the work of a fourth grader who just mastered the basics of cut-and-paste report writing. But if you stay there you could always copy the below piece, tack on "And that's what I did on my summer vacation." and have your first back-to-school report all wrapped up and ready to hand in.

Morning in Oregon is mind-blowing; it means that a new fine day in Medford awaits you. 200 acres of ski terrain is available to the skiers who go to Mt.
