When time permits, we go to Bandon. When time is not on our side, we prefer Depoe Bay. The sweet spot, though, is Florence.

I believe Florence claims to be the Rhododendren capital as they host the Rhodedendron (Rhodey) Festival each year. They do have a lot of them, but those plants thrive throughout western Oregon. Florence is also known for the nearby sand dunes with accompanying dune buggies and when I was much younger, camel rides. Eugene is known for the University of Oregon and it's football team (American, not soccer) and liberal politics. I'm close enough to Portland that I tend to consider Gresham a suburb to Portland rather than a city itself. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
