Oregon Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities, and Other Offbeat Stuff
This book presents the definitive collection of Oregon's odd, wacky, and most offbeat people, places, and things, for residents and anyone else who enjoys local humor and trivia with a twist. It is your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things that Oregon has to offer. Whether you're a born-and-raised Oregonian, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Oregon Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Harriet Baskas takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Beaver State.
* Meet the lovely but carnivorous Darlingtonia californica lily and the ghostly Bandage Man from logger's heaven.
* Discover the Best Funky Food Show, where Jell-O is the medium with the message; the Silvy 250, a race in which love seats and recliners get rolling; and an infamous lighthouse known as "Terrible Tilly," where only the dead are welcome to stay.
* Experience a town with streets full of frogs, an eight-state mac 'n' cheese contest, and the unsettling Oregon Vortex where gravity goes giddy.
