ast week, dual meetings in Tillamook and Banks formally launched a planning process to determine whether there is suffi cient interest — Land whether it is economically feasible — to create a hiking, biking and equestrian trail that would di- rectly connect Banks with the Oregon coast. The proposed trail would follow an existing railroad corridor between Banks and Tillamook by way of Man- ning, Timber, Wheeler and Rockaway Beach. Owned by the Port of Tillamook Bay, the OUROPINION rail line has been mostly out of service since severe storms hit the Coast Range in December 2007. Flooding and mud- slides triggered washouts and slides, creating millions of dollars in damage to several sections of the 86-mile route. With a caveat or two, we believe this trail is a wonder- ful idea. The Salmonberry River canyon, which is about mid- way between Banks and the coast, is a unique and beau- tiful place, and the vision of being able to hike or bike One boy’s ‘dream girl’ from the Willamette Valley to the Pacifi c Ocean is highly appealing.
