This Short Oregon Forest Hike Ends at a Ghost Town the Woods Quietly Reclaimed

Deep in the Oregon Cascades, an old gravel road runs out and a forest trail takes over. Follow it for about three miles and the trees open onto a tiny mining town full of rusted trucks, old heaters, and buildings from another era. Nobody drives in, so every guest arrives on foot, and that is part of the charm.

Sheriff's Tip of the Week: Unlawful lights on motor vehicles

With the sun setting earlier in the fall and winter, it is easy to notice the variety of headlights on the road. There can be confusion about the color of lights vehicles can lawfully displayed while traveling on Oregon’s public highways. Although there may be after-market headlights, bulbs, and light bars available at local shops, including those with a blueish or greenish color, many are not legal to use in Oregon. Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 816.050 states that headlights shall show a white light described in Standard Number 108 of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). ORS 816.360 also addresses the use of prohibited lighting equipment for motor vehicles in Oregon. The penalty for not complying with this law, should a motorist be cited, is a Class C infraction. The fine imposed by a court can range from $80 to $500. The law states the following: All headlamps must be white in color as defined by Society of Automotive Engineers and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 108. White lamps have been tested to meet all headlamp requirements.Maximum wattage allowed in a headlight or accessory light is 70 watts.FMVSS 108 disallows any color coating on headlights and/or headlight bulbs.Blue

Minnix, the chief petitioner behind the 2025 recall campaign, says Republican legislators passed up a chance to support the effort because some party officials were already calculating who would be harder to beat in 2026.

Election results and Oregon Ag

A blue wave washed over the country on Tuesday. Here in Oregon, already a deep blue state, we took on more water. Despite overwhelming dissatisfaction with the direction of the state, voters returned Gov. Tina Kotek to office and appear to have given Democrats even more room to work with in both chambers of the State Legislature. Ballots are still being counted, but if the current counts hold, Democrats will enter the 2027 Oregon Legislative Session with a 39–21 majority in the House and a 19–11 majority in the Senate.
