    History of Timber at Coos Bay

    In this episode, we’re joined by Sire Pro from the Coos History Museum to explore how the timber industry built Coos Bay from the ground up. Towering forests and deep-water ports shaped more than just the landscape of Coos Bay—they shaped an entire community. We dive into the early 20th-century boom that fueled the local economy, the key events and figures that defined Coos Bay’s timber trade, and the technological advances that transformed logging and milling along Oregon’s South Coast. Sire also unpacks the environmental challenges that came with large-scale logging, how those impacts were addressed over time, and the role Coos Bay played in the broader Pacific Northwest timber industry. Bonus: Sire also shares about myrtlewood wooden coin.

    Japanese Bomb Site

    In this episode, we uncover one of Oregon's most surprising World War II stories: the only mainland U.S. bombing by enemy aircraft. In 1942, a Japanese pilot launched from a submarine off the coast of Brookings and dropped incendiary bombs on Mt. Emily, aiming to spark chaos and forest fires. Decades later, the same pilot returned to Brookings not with bombs, but with a gift: his family’s 400-year-old samurai sword — a gesture of peace and reconciliation. ------------------------------------------------- This podcast is produced by Dirty Freehub, a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling Ride Guides.
