Curious how many of us are planning on going up to Corvallis. I know CAAA/Team Aggie will have events, my Dad's cousin was an All-American at OSU so he may be tied into something neat as well.
I believe we’ve been there. About 10 years ago, I umpired the Little League Senior division western regional in Salem. We took a road trip on one of the off days.
And I’ll use my United points to fly - 8 hours of driving is too much on this body .
Edit: wrong place. We hit Chinook Winds in Lincoln City. Also ate at this gem
Sambo's is good (though I think it was permanently closed post-COVID...and for other reasons) if you get out to Depoe Bay - go with Restaurant Beck at Whale Cove Inn. Best food I've had on the Oregon Coast - a little bit fancy there, views are tremendous. Local Ocean Seafoods in Newport is really good as well.
It is noteworthy that it's only a short 1 hr. ride on Hwy 20 due west to get to Newport and the Oregon Coast from Corvallis, it's very pretty there in September.
We're staying in Depoe Bay for 5 days in late April. We'll definitely try the Restaurant Beck. Thanks for the tip!
We have family in Newport so my wife and I may make the trip to Corvallis. Of course, our family in Newport are all OSU grads so we have to be careful!
CAA will be hosting a tailgate in Corvalis before the game. BTW, SWA does fly into Eugene but from SMF they send you to Vegas, then Eugene. I checked Oakland as a departure and its the same deal.
