Second place you should visit
Prehistoric Gardens
Port Orford, Oregon
It's a genuine rain forest, sheltered in a small valley, mild in climate, drenched with rainfall; a place overrun with giant ferns, drippy mosses, and black muck soil that's not good for much else. Many pop-up dinosaurs were made all around by E.V. Nelson.

Third place you should visit
Oregon Vortex Gold Hill, Oregon
Mystery Spots offer an amazingly similar menu of wall-walking, seat-balancing, body-shrinking and -growing tricks; most are placed suspiciously near interstate interchanges and bloated tourist meccas.
You are shown into a special room or small cabin where the strange phenomenon will occur. A friendly guide explains that what you are about to see "lies well-beyond the scope of science." The patter may differ, but the stage is set for some rather astounding optical illusions. You will see balls roll uphill, and water flow briskly up the spout. You will watch as ordinary chairs defy gravity and cling to the wall without support, while fellow visitors stand around in impossible angles.

A Real Place in Oregon Called Boring
Evelyn Hopp, weeding the ditch next to the Boring city limits sign, assures us that the town is anything but. "Boring was the name of the man who founded the town," corrects Evelyn, a local librarian.
