Have uke, will travel.
The annual Oakridge ukulele festival was this weekend, and several players
were staying in our RV park, Casey's Riverside, in nearby Westfir.
The longest covered bridge in OR is here, built in 1945.
It's called the Office Bridge because it led to the office of a logging company.
It certainly looks sturdy enough, lots of heavy timber.
Blackberries, the scourge of the Pacific NW, thrive at either end of the bridge. I spent 1000s of hours fighting the damned things when I lived in WA and OR. Machetes, hedge trimmers and weed whackers were the weapons of choice; if you timed it just right, Roundup was effective. For awhile.
A local tourism rag touts Salt Creek Falls, just off OR 58, as being the second highest waterfall (286') in OR. Whoever wrote the article is full of crap; it's not even in the top 10. Here's a list of OR waterfalls in height-order: http://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/region-tallest-waterfalls/United-States/Oregon/
Restaurant Review
Brewers Union Local 180, Tripadvisor ranked # 1 for eateries in Oakridge,
We had fish and chips, and I had one of their brews. The fish had enough grease to lube the axles of a medium-length freight train, and had a nasty aftertaste. The ale was tepid. Numerous flies added to the fine ambiance, obviously quite fond of the place and, I suspect, instrumental in Tripadvisor's high ranking of this dining disaster.
