My buddy just got a CRV for his daughter, 2 wd $5K She is not going to need AWD, so it will be cheaper on insurance. Ford Focus is going to have parts at every FLAPS on 395 between The Lake and Eugene.
Smith Rock. just sayin' relatively close to Eugene
Also
Silver Creek Falls
Tell her to take her mountain bike with her
Actually with a bug, she can take everything with her in the spare tire well that is liable to go bad, and they are like working on a lawnmower. Would fit in well in Eugene too, maybe put some front disc brakes on it. Maybe throw Muir's book in there too with the spare cables.
