[edit] Cuckoo's Nest
Just a note to remind us include the fact that the fishing scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (film) was shot here. Katr67 05:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] World's smallest harbor
I know that Depoe Bay's harbor is said to be the world's smallest -- there's even a sign proclaiming the fact at the harbor -- but I've always been skeptical of claims like this. Checking the source referenced here I saw it is qualified as "according to the Guinness people", so I added that to this page. My guess is that such a claim depends on how one defines "harbor" and how one measures the exact size of various harbors. Having seen the harbor at Depoe Bay and at Riomaggiore and at Vernazza I'd bet the latter two are smaller -- depending on how you define and measure harbors. In any case, I thought I'd add the qualifier and explain why here. Pfly 06:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- The Cinque Terre harbors are all man made—at least that was my impression while snorkeling near their entrances. Depoe Bay is clearly all natural, though the Guinness citation should say that. I'm inclined to believe it is truly the smallest in the world, though I wouldn't be surprised if there were a smaller one somewhere. Then, I guess, we'd have to amend it to world's smallest harbor on an ocean or something like that. —EncMstr 04:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bays in Oregon
You could have just asked me first: diff. I was quite certain that Depoe Bay, the city, and Depoe Bay, the bay are unlikely to merit separate articles, so I added the city to the bay cat. I've done the same with beach articles, pending a separate article on Cannon Beach (Oregon), I've classed Cannon Beach, Oregon as a beach as well as a city. But perpetual stub articles on geographic features seem to be OK so maybe there should be two separate articles. If Depoe Bay is not, in fact, a bay, well of course it should be removed. Does anyone have a better solution? Katr67 (talk) 15:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- A search of http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html shows that USGS classes Depoe Bay as a Bay... Katr67 (talk) 15:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

- Katr67! Sorry, it didn't occur to me to ask: It was late. I hadn't noticed you editing for a few hours. It was quiet. And I seemed to have the universe to myself. Thanks. —EncMstr 17:45, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
