(Yachats, Oregon) – That 20-mile phase of Oregon coast between Florence and Yachats is crammed with one shock bend within the highway after one other, as complicated little seashores pop up between the rolling cliffs and the asphalt offers option to forested chunks or tall earthen partitions on the japanese facet. Consider it as a form of preview, in essence. (Above: Strawberry Hill’s mysterious “steps:” photograph Oregon Coast Seaside Connection)
In case you get down onto the seashores, the eye-popping surprises are myriad and the eccentricities hiding in seashores which are considerably hidden themselves. You will see some stuff you’ve by no means encountered earlier than. And it is a rush.
Head right down to Strawberry Hill Wayside and you may see three, prime surreal examples, beginning with the tree stump embedded in one thing that’s in itself laborious to outline. On the far finish of this comely cove, there is a huge nob of rock sticking up within the air coming full with a patch of soil and a few crops on prime of that. It seems to be like one thing out of early Sure album covers or Dr. Seuss gone geologically insane.
From a purely geologic stance, it is clearly a bit of the cliff that is been eroded away and disconnected from the remainder of it.
Even curiouser, there is a log jammed into it, piercing its wall and reaching all through. Whether or not it misplaced its battle with a current storm or its wooden that was buried in that materials for eons continues to be not recognized. How did it get there? Weird sights from such a wondrously stunning spot on the central Oregon coast.
Again to the doorway of Strawberry Hill, you may see this outstandingly unusual little construction. What seem like steps are embedded within the basalt rock. However this basalt is a part of a large marine lava move spewed from Cape Perpetua some 37 million 12 months in the past. Proof of historic aliens?
No, it is proof actual science is wilder than any sci-fi. It is referred to as a cordwood joint, how geologists have categorized this distinctive method that lava has of forcing its method into older basalt buildings, then splitting into odd little segments, and these ultimately get worn down and unhidden by tens of millions of years of sea water.
These are additionally discovered a number of different spots alongside the coast, together with Depoe Bay’s North Level and one other seashore simply north of Strawberry Hill referred to as Neptune State Park.
Talking of Neptune, an unmarked entry that’s a part of the park hosts an enchanting secret. Look intently on the delicate soil cliffs right here and you may discover these layers of white. These are shell middens: basically the rubbish piles of historic native tribes after they removed the seafood they consumed. These are lots of to perhaps even hundreds of years previous, relying on the midden. You will discover them in quite a few locations round this a part of Lane County seashores, together with Bob Creek.
A bit additional north, simply into Lincoln County, Cape Perpetua soars 700 ft into the air, and the highest offers unbelievable viewpoints and vistas. One of many sights here’s a distinctive perspective on the lengthy walkway happening to the Satan’s Churn – which a lot of you might have undoubtedly executed. From right here, you possibly can clearly see the structure and the way far you have truly gone. It seems to be extra daunting than it truly is.
In Yachats itself, there are half a dozen spectacular wave motion spots of the spouting horn selection – each huge and small. However the actual delights may be the small print right here. At Yachats State Leisure Space – the principle entry most are acquainted with – the holes within the basalt rocks may be mesmerizing. Although typically small and delicate, they’re price taking a look at intently, corresponding to right here, the place you see the tide wandering beneath and the solar hitting it excellent to made the water glow beneath there.
One huge characteristic of Yachats is not so unknown as these thus far listed, however it’s a particular magnificence, sitting at Smelt Sands State Park on the 804 Path. This huge log has been on this spot for apparently at the least a few many years. Worn and battered by tides and winds, it has begun to appear to be an enormous roadkill cranium. It hasn’t moved a lot – if in any respect – in about 15 years

CLACKAMAS COUNTY Ore. (KPTV) – U.S. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who recently was nominated by president-elect Donald Trump to serve as his labor secretary, said she got a pipe bomb threat at her Oregon home on Tuesday night.
Chavez-DeRemer wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office responded to the threat and added that she and her family are safe.
“We deeply appreciate their dedication to protecting our community, especially as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches,” said Chavez-DeRemer. “This kind of violence harms not just the intended targets, but entire communities.”
Chavez-DeRemer was one of several Trump cabinet appointees who have reportedly received threats this week, according to a statement from the Trump team.
“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,’” the statement said, referring to a false threat specifically intended to attract a SWAT team response. “In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted.”

The No.1 Oregon Ducks take on rival Washington Huskies Saturday evening at Autzen Stadium. Ducks cornerback Jabbar Muhammad will be taking on his former team for the first time since transferring this past offseason.
What did he have to say about the Oregon-Washington rivalry?
Jabbar Muhammad: “It’s a Really Fierce Rivalry”
Defensive back Jabbar Muhammad has been in his fair share of big rivalry games throughout his career. Prior to joining Oregon this season, Muhammad had spent three seasons at Oklahoma State and last season at Washington. He has played in the Bedlam rivalry game between Oklahoma-Oklahoma State and also was on the other side of the Washington-Oregon rivalry a season ago.
He was asked about what it has been like on each side of the Washington-Oregon rivalry.
“It’s a really fierce rivalry. Obviously, the fans don’t really get along too well,” Muhammad said. “Me coming from the south, I didn’t know it was that crazy. I’m used to Texas-OU and Auburn-Bama. This is up there with those rivalries. Just to be a part of it is pretty cool.”
Muhammad recalled one of the craziest experiences he’s had in a rivalry game before, and cited “Bedlam” when he was with Oklahoma State.
“I remember getting egged on the bus,” Muhammad said. “Like I said, this (UW-UO rivalry) is up there with it.”
Even with the added juice of a rivalry game, the approach for the Ducks will be the same as any other game.
“It’s just another game honestly. Ready to go out there and compete with my bros,” Muhammad said. “We just need to be us.”
Jabbar Muhammad Previews Washington Offense
The Washington Huskies passing attack is led by quarterback Will Rogers and wide receivers Denzel Boston and Giles Jackson.
This is what Jabbar Muhammad had to say about Denzel Boston.
“He’s (Boston) really good in intermediate game, the quick game, and the deep game,” Muhammad said. “He’s a really complete wide receiver so I’m looking forward to go against him Saturday,”
Here’s what he said about Giles Jackson.
“Agile. Really quick in the slot. Really good with yards after the catch so going to have to do a good job trying to contain him,” Muhammad said.
As for the quarterback position, the Huskies are led by Will Rogers. Backup Demond Williams Jr. is also utilized at times as a dual threat option.
“(Rogers) is a really good pocket passer. Doesn’t really do any running like No. 2 (Williams Jr.), but he has a complete game,” Muhammad said. “No. 2 (Williams Jr.) is more of a dual threat. Can kill you with his legs and throw the ball too. Going to have to do a good job trying to cage up those too.”
