South Coast -- rainy but good surf. Writing while staying at Timberline Lodge? Must have been pretty lucrative!
No, I was student and I used the desks/tables in the rotunda area, camped out in the parking lot ski-bum/climber's style. Became good friend's with the bar tender and he kept my coffee cup full. I stayed w/ a friend in Bend used the Community College and City library as my office.
Love the South Coast and wish I had surfed more while there. Try to get there once/year. Love seeing the seals out w/ you, just don't overthink what is likely hunting for them under the surface! I mostly play in the mts. but really miss the ocean access. Speaking of outstanding access opportunities the public coastline in OR is fantastic...saw more bald eagles on the OR coast than anywhere else.
