Oregon Thundereggs Did you know?
The Native American legend of Thundereggs: When the Thunder Spirits living in the highest recesses of snowcapped Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson became angry with one another. Amid violent thunder and lightning storms they would hurl masses of these spherical rocks at each other. The hostile gods obtained these weapons by stealing eggs from the Thunderbirds' nests, thus the source of the name "Thundereggs." Photo: Wikipedia
