Video Text:

So the coast range is about 25 miles west of here. In the Coast Range I guess you might call it a fault, in Burgundy they might call it a comb, it is a drop in the Coast Range that these cooling breezes funnel in from. And highway 22 goes all the way to Lincoln city along this kind of a river valley almost along the Salmon River and dumps out there and these winds get funneled in as it warms up in the valley you can see at the coast having grown up in Tillamook, our summers were always foggy and cold and like 68 degrees, where in the valley it would be warm but that warm air pulls in these cooling breezes at night so the Van Duzer corridor is this is fault essentially in the Coast Range and it’s we’re blessed to have it it really is one of the things that distinguishes what the Eola Hills is all about.
