Siuslaw, Coquille and Willamette
Keep those boatyard postings coming whilst I roam the country of the Rivers Siuslaw, Coquille, and Willamette - not exactly the Mighty Miss and the Beautiful Ohio, and the terrain is a bit different too. I'm heading out to visit my sister in Eugene Oregon, through which the Willamette flows. The Siuslaw and Coquille are enroute to the Pacific Ocean. I refuse to go eastward into the mountains - I've seen enough snow for this winter! One connection these rivers have to the UMR: Weyerhaeuser Denkmann, which started in Rock Island using timber from up the UMR, now floats some down these western rivers, as their headquarters are now in the northwest...
