Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: After many trips to Eugene, I would say that rain gear is not necessary for summer trips. Eugene seems to have a drought every summer. But in the winter, you'd better bring rubber boots if you intend to do any walking at all. Not only are there puddles and pools everywhere, but the ground is very very muddy.

Luggage and bags: Bring whatever luggage you normally would. Also include a day pack or backpack for getting around this active town.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: No matter what time of year bring an umbrella. Rain jackets, raingear, good walking shoes are also recommended. Bring and wear layered clothing as the weather goes from drizzly to sunshine to rainning during the day quite often in the spring, summer, and fall.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring whatever you normally would. If you are prone to hay fever or allergies bring some medications. This part of the country is notorius for pollen and molds.

Photo Equipment: Bring your camera for picture of scenic views, rainbows, and interesting people!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring all appropriate gear for whatever outdoor activity you chose. Dress warm for the Oregon coast it is cold water and can be very windy.

Luggage and bags: not many, just depending on how long you stay

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: t-shirts and jeans and sandals are fine in summer, in winter too just very few heavy clothes in case of a sudden ``freezing``. ``Hippie-style`` not disregarded!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Watever you think you might need. Eugene is also equipped with natural medicine stores.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Best to wear rubber-soled shoes since this is a very walkable town.

Dressing in layers in moderate layers is recommended. Essential to have a rain hat or hooded parka.

Overall, Fall type weather. rarely cold and no humidity- perfect!
