You are talking about Gold Beach?
We live about 100 miles north of there, near Florence.
There are no wild rarpberries of any type around here.
Lots of wild blackberries, salmon berries and thimble berries. The 
nurseries have none either. What you ate was probably a cultivated one 
that got away from someone or a bird dropped a seed from a home orchard.
