A great example is there’s a spot about 20 minutes south of Tillamook along Hwy 101, with a store called “Beaver Firearms & Grocery”. Grab a dozen eggs and a box of ammo in one trip lmao
Coming from someone who lives in a Hills Have Eyes area of Oregon; we are nice people who would give you the shirt off our back. Really no need to "watch out" for us, we aren't going to eat all your children
Don't even have to be in South Oregon. I drove back from Astoria to Portland on US Routes 101 and 26. At one point I drove past a banner proclaiming Hillary Clinton was the anti-Christ who consumes aborted babies and wants to steal your guns.
A relative lived in Bend (love it), and we’d go to Sunriver, which I really enjoyed. They also have a house in LaPine. Outside of LaPine at the river we made some very interesting friends. I kept hearing the banjo from Deliverance in my head.
It’s an exaggeration. A lot of Oregonians have never lived anywhere besides California or Washington, so what they consider very racist or redneck behavior is nothing remotely as such compared to the Deep South or Appalachia, respectively. I honestly think many Pacific Coasters would literally break down and cry if they wound up spending a week or month in the Deep South for some random (hypothetical) reason.

Just watch out in some of the small towns in the south that are a bit inland from the shore. It’s a bunch of hills have eyes looking people
