Starting this thread for anyone who would like to post trip reports of their travels in the west coast states of California, Oregon, Washington.

Share your good and not so good experiences, recommendations, and insights. Where should we all stay away from or what should we see?

Spruce Goose - Finally got around to seeing the infamous wooden ship/airplane. It is the centerpiece exhibit at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. I missed it when it was on display at Long Beach Harbor in California years ago.

The size and the complexity of the wooden airplane/ship are very impressive. But I'm really amazed by the amount of money used to store, transport, house and display the one-time flier.

Worth the trip if you are in the area. I'll write an article on it in the near future.
