From the Back Cover
Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Beaver State has to offer!
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 the world’s largest toga party, an eight-state mac ’n’ cheese contest, and the unsettling Oregon Vortex, where gravity goes giddy.
Whether you’re a born-and-raised Oregonian or a recent transplant, author Harriet Baskas will have you laughing out loud as she introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed—right in your own backyard.
