4RE KLR,
I will be going to
Seaside and
Cannon Beach tomorrow to do some Bicycle riding. I am also looking for a place on the Oregon Coast as well and love Cannon Beach. The rent idea is a smart move "Try before you buy"
I have lived in Oregon all of my life and all of this rain even gets to me. You would think after 42 years I would get used to it, but if I lived on the beach it would make it all worth while.
