Track Town vibes with craft beer and river runs
Oakshire Public House and Ninkasi Better Living Room split the brewery anchor, with Marche downtown for the dinner the older guys remember. A Ducks game at Autzen if the calendar cooperates, the Pre's Trail run through Alton Baker Park, McKenzie River rafting with High Country Expeditions an hour east. Sam Bond's Garage for the late beer. College town with a fly-fishing problem.
