7/29    Hi, I will be in Montreal and Gainesville, Fla for a few days in Aug.
        Would appreciate any food/activity/culture recommendations. Thanks.
        \_ Ugh Gainesville.  3 hours from the middle of nowhere, I guess you
           can go to UF college bars. but still.
        \_ Likewise, I am off to Oregon for 11 days. 4 business and 7
           pleasure. Driving up from CA. Business is in Portland. What's
           not to miss?
           \_ Arcata is nice, as is the Lost Coast. Kind of foggy this
              time of year, though.
              \_ No idea what "Lost Coast" is but went to Arcata and Eureka
                 and didn't much care for them. Probably won't go back.
              \_ Actually, Shelter Cove (Lost Coast) is rarely foggy, due
                 to local topography.  -tom
                 \_ The Lost Coast is more than just Shelter Cove, but that
                    is a good spot to camp, if you are looking for that.
           \_ go on a Hippie safari.
