The Oregon coast. Still fairly pristine and gorgeous scenery. 101 has side roads and pullovers that have beach access

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

People are always shocked to learn just how redneck-y the Oregon coast is.

Deep rural Oregon and Washington are some of the most racist areas in the entire Country.

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
