Like I said, we probably won't go back. Alsea Falls is much better. At least you ride 3 miles uphill on a logging road.<br /><br />We had yummy vegan ice cream last weekend when it was so hot.

There are a lot of trails there, but I recall a lot allow horses, and they do chew up the ground.

The Baguette is right downtown in Corvallis so we actually have one every other week or so. Pretty much our favorite place to eat out.<br /><br />July 1st and yes, weed will be legal.

I first heard about banh mi in a radio story late last year. There aren't many shops around here, but those we have seem to make a good sandwich. I even got together with my sister's family a few times last winter to make our own.
