I look outside and though sometimes it is cloudy, it is amazing. The winds blow different here than from Klamath falls. It is almost as if Coos Bay is a completely different world. The foliage is the same, yet different,. The weather is the same, but different.
For example, in Klamath Falls, the winds blew from the lake. The winds would reach our house from a northern direction. Here, the wind comes off the ocean, always carrying a briny smell, which hits us from the west. In Klamath falls, the trees are more pine than anything else, except in the city limits, where you have the oaks, elms, and willows. Here… I haven’t even begun to recognize half the plants. I mean, there are still the pines, but there are numerous other trees that I have not been around very often and have yet to memorize.
In Klamath falls, you drive north for a half hour and you are in the forest. East, you end up in high desert (see my facebook for pics). West is another city. South… well, that’s California. In Coos Bay, north, you see the coast. West, you are on the ocean. South, you are on the coast. East, you are in the mountain range.
The people are so much nicer here, too. Everyone has a warm smile and a welcoming hello. People go out of their way to help others it seems. In Klamath Falls, you are much more likely to see averted faces and eyes and hear mutterings behind your back.
Is Coos Bay the nicest place in Oregon? Maybe, maybe not. I haven’t seen enough of Oregon to give you a definite answer. But Coos Bay is a wonderful place to visit if you love the coast and happy people.
An amazing world out here…
