From Astoria to California Line
By Vinton Hall
Public Helatlona Director, Oregon
State Motor Association
THE story of a trip down the
Oregon coast highway from
Astoria to the California line
e hardly bo classed as a motor
log it's a dozen motorlogs rolled
Into one. For along the 30S-mlle
extent of Oregon's coast line are
enough attractions to provide rec
.reatlon and entertainment not
only for the week-end motorist
and short-term vacationist but
even for the more fortunate who
may be able to spend several
weeks or the entire summer ex
ploring and visiting the lesser
known as well as the more fa
mous places.
Of course, the route may be
negotiated either from south to
north or vice versa. Since we
arr starting from Portland, we'll
go to Astoria, then turn The Ore-gonian-Oregon
Stule Motor asso
ciation travel car southward with
the long expanse of ocean-bordered
highway before Ud. Before
leaving Astoria, though, let's
spend a few minutes in this city
of so much historical and Indus;
trial significance.
Headed south about this time
of year, it's dlfflcjlt to miss the
Golden trail, a section of the
main coast highway with daz
zling borders of Scotch broom.
Rolling on to Soaslde, Oregon's
most famous bathing beach,
where the main street heads
straight for the ocean. For di
version, park the car and take a
walk along tho two-mile concrete
promenade along the ocean front
Thirteen miles down U. 8. 101
you'll reach the Neconlcum fish
hatchery, a splendid opportunity
to find out how science helps
nature keep up with the nlmrods.
Operated by the state, tho hatch
ery is open to the public, and
attendants may be asked to ex
plain the technique of raising
baby fish to adulthood.
You've beard of Tillamook, ot
course. It's the hub of "a land
oi trees, cheese and ocean breeze."
But probably few motorists have
taken time to find out about the
cheese that's mado the city fa
mous. At the south oity limits
there Is a large yellow bulMIng
cheese factory easy to reach
and where visitors aro welcome.
FEAR MENINGITIS
It you are going to make this mo
torlog complete, stop In and
watch the process from tho cow
(that put fhe moo in Tillamook)
to the sandwich.
Sixty-three miles further south,
after passing several of the
coast's finest resorts and the
Junction of the main road from
Portland, you'll reach Depoe bay,
a spot of unique iuterest and one
whore, If it's your lucky day, you
may spot seals or pcrhups a
whale. Depoe bay residents con
show you a little trail that leads
to Pirates' cove and point out
tho underground lake and caves.
They'll point to Spouting Horn,
where the crashing breakers
shoot foam high Into the air.
If it's tlmo for lunch, stock
up at Depoe bay and drive two
miles farther south to Whale
cove, one of tho coast's many
sheltered and pleasant ltttlo in
lets. Stroll down from the high
way and prop your bask against'
a driftwood log at the mouth of
one of the shallow caverns and
eat. The constant and lulling roar
of the sea, tho swaying trees and
tho warm, quiet air in the cove
will send you off on a brief nap In
no time.
Then, of course, you are ready
for a spectacular view, perhnps
the most thrilling of the entire
coast It's at Otter Crest, only
three or four miles south, pur
chased by the state as a park be
cause of the scciuc qualities. Near
by Is a lookout and observatory,
from which can be seen one
fourth of tho 401-mlle roast line.
Geologically minded motorists
will not fall to stop at Agate
boach, the next point of Interest
on your marlns motorlog. Scien
tists point to evidence of a reef
along the coast, which they say
Is n relic of an old continent de
pressed under the Pacific ocean.
A part of llfo on the sencoast,
of course, is deep-sea fishing. And
for a tnie picturo tho boats and
thi fishermen should not be over
looked. Several of them, too, will
take you out to sea If you have
time and a little extra cash for
tills diversion. The fishing boats'
here, as well as at Depoe bay,
Recclsport and Coos bay, lend a
touch of color that should not be
overlooked. In Newport, too, Is
a natatorlum, and the cottages
and summer homes of a typical
beach resort city.
Farther south, Is Seal Rock
state park, another section of the
Oregon coast adopted by the
state because of its restful
beauty. Off tho shore may be
seen Seal rocks, where formerly
keen eyes could detect the sea
mammals and where now may be
seen the rookeries of marlno wild
fowl. Cape Perpetua, one notch
farther in this motorlog, affords
another chance for a scenic view.
But perhaps you should move
on to Sea Lion caves, where
Brigham brings his fur-clad
wives. Unique Is the torm for
these fascinating caves, chiseled
from Sea Lion point by the bat
tering waves of centuries. Ac
cessible by an easy trail and spec
tacular stairways, upon payment
of a smait fee, the caves may re
vea' a herd of sea lions playing,
splashing and loafing. Here is
the only known sea lion rookery
on the mainland, and yearly "Old
Brigham," herd bull, brings back
his congregation for tho summer
season.
Next, en route south, you reach
a series of fresh-water lakes,
strung to the left of the highway
wttl- the ocean on the right It
affords any relief that you may
need from tho sight of the sea,
fo- in this area from Florence to
Coos bay you may even Imagine
that you ate high in tho moun
tains of central Oregon. Woaklnd,
Slltcoos, Tahkenltch and Ten
mile lakes all could be called
Ideal recreation spota With out
lets to the sea, fish life is re
plenished from the ocean. Fur
thermore, they are stocked with
bass, crapple, calico boss, and
perch, and resorts can provlde
virtually every form of entertain
ment desired
Back to the ocean. Coos bay,
the alto of North Bend and
Marahfield, Is an important lum
bering, manufacturing, fishing
anC shipping center, with a multi.
tudo of points for tho travel
agenda,
In 1936, of course, you read
about tho Bandon fire that near
ly swept this rugged coast city
off the map. At the site of the
famout holocaust, 37 miles south '
of Coos bay, you wll find a new
city rising.
Forty-six miles south of Ban
don Is a place of considerable
geographic importance, and one
Involved somewhat in a contro
versy of scientists. It is Cape
Bianco, westernmost point In
Oregon, and claimed by some to
reach farther west than any other
point In the United States.
Just below Cape Blanco Is an
other geographic ' featuro an
nexed as a park by Oregon. It
Is Humbug mountain, interesting
not only because of improved
picnic facilities but because of Its
historic background.
Southward, beyond Gold Beach
and tho mouth of tho famous
fishing stream, Rogue river, re
mains one more opportunity for
spectacular view. On top of Pistol
River mourtaln, at Carpenter
vllle, Is the highest point on tho
Oregon coast highway. From
this 1700-foot lookout you may
view California's Mount Shasta,
and in another direction look 100
miles out to sea
Brookings, seven miles north
of the California line, is tho last
Item on this motorlog of Ore
gon's 401-mile marine drive. '
Eight miles from Brookings
you will find the only occcssible
grove of big redwood trees In
Oregon 60 acres of them. En
route and adjoining you also will
see some of tho world's biggest
myrtle trees, an exclusive prod
uct of southwestern Oregon and
prized by makers of wood novel
ties. With this you've comploted a
thorough trip of a great recrea
tional highway. Of course, there
were the beautiful coast highway
bridges, completed in 1936 at a
cost of well ovor 55.000,000. Then,
too, thero were dozens of spots
that might have been visited, but
they mus servo as a reason for
another drive and another day.
