I lived in Oregon in the mid 60’s, early 70’s.
There was a actually a pop song on the radio, called I think, I live in Oregon, that extolled the greatness of the State.
Back then it was still a conservative State and they hated the fact Californians were moving there in high numbers.
I lived in Oregon for some years in Bandon after retirement, in the middle of a forest, but still could hear the ocean pound on the beach at high tide. It was lovely, inexpensive, but it could rain like nobody’s business. Lots of blackberries everywhere all summer, lots of fishing and crab fishing off the dock, and if you were Indian, all the salmon you could catch, no sales tax, and we got free TV on our 10’ dish which picked up programming from Canada...loved those British shows. Our medical plan in California made it mandatory we return, still miss the place..
