The following sites are for calculating sunrise and sunsets.
 
Florence, Oregon is:
43deg 59' N    124deg 07' W

(43.988099 N, 124.099303 W)

 

Since each degree is about 60 miles, at our Latitude and Longitude, these settings would include most all parts of the Central Oregon coast (Newport south to Coos Bay).
 

 

Sunrise/Sunset times change from year to year. The times are also different from location-to-location.
If you have times calculated for your own location, they are probably only good for a radius of about 30 miles.
The following sites are for calculating sunrise and sunsets.  The following site is the US Naval Observatory Time Service:
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html

 

This site will show you a full years sunrise/sunsets for your location, but you will need to know the latitude and longitude of the location you wish to get the information for.

To find latitude and longitude, two excellent sites are: http://ftp.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer or

http://www.spot-on-sundials.co.uk/latitude.html   All you need to know is either your city & state or your zip code. 

There are a number of other resources on the web for doing these calculations or finding the times. In the past there has been a "Baha'í-specific" form that was found at http://bounty.bcca.org/misc/fasttime/, but the link seems to be inactive at this time. In many cases, you will need to know the latitude and longitude of the location you wish to get the information for.

The following are sites where you can have fun with calculations:
