om...
I may be able to pull away from everything next month for a week and
am considering flying North this time. Are there any good remoteish
type places up in Oregon where we could do hiking, fishing, etc?

I have a hard time thinking of any airfields in Oregon that do not have easy
access to hiking, fishing, etc. Well, maybe Portland International..... but
only maybe.

Consider Flying M Ranch near Yamhill, for example. Private ranch, sleep in
covered wagons. $12/night for a campsite. If the runway is too challenging,
land at Newberg or McMinnville and rent a car. The Spruce Goose is at
McMinnville.

Or Sun River. Huge resort area, with everything you could possibly want,
including a big paved runway.

Brookings. Climate like San Francisco. Big trees, ocean beaches.

Grants Pass itself is an outdoors paradise.

Gold Beach. Another good beach area.

I have also been to Bandon; there are a lot of good cabins and other
facilities available in the area.

You know, on second thought -- Oregon is crowded, rainy, obnoxious -- they
won't even let you pump your own gas. Yes. Um, there are no airports in
Oregon. No hiking or fishing, either. Just forget I said anything. That's
the ticket.
