text: Corvallis and McMinnville are off the I-5 corridor, and not served with major RR, so less accessible to those hitching, rail riding or on foot.
  I lived in Corvallis area for quite a while, albeit almost 20 years ago, and as pleasant a place as it was/is, there are still places in the parks and outskirts where you really don't want to go alone or at night.
