Eugene is "The Town that Time Forgot". It is a mecca for "hippies" , "tree huggers", and "DeadHeads". The Saturday Market there is like time traveling backward to the 60s and has always been that way. Tie-dyes, patchouli, dreads, flower-children galore. Beautiful crafts, terrific food, entertainment.
Eugene is the home of the University of Oregon, lots of culture, quirkiness, and a truly unique kind of place. I lived there my teen years and visit often. It is about 80 miles from where I live now.
