Please put this road on your list if you are ever in Southern Oregon: Elk Creek Rd off of Highway 62. I happened upon it exploring today. Corner after corner after corner of 35 mpg sweepers! It was a good clean road, zero cars and I think it was good scenery but I’m not sure I ever looked away from the road long enough to see it. It was an utter blast.
Hiked to a couple of killer waterfalls...near the town of Prospect, Mill Creek Falls. Here’s a few pics.
Today’s challenge:
I took off on a hike around Willow lake, 7 1/2 miles. Three quarters of the way through the hike the trail disappeared on me and left me on a paved one lane road.
I’ve never gotten lost before...I ended up walking about 12 miles before I actually had to flag down a passing fisherman who hauled me the last 3 miles.
Did I mention it started raining and I was literally soaked to the bone? And, did I mention the first pussies I tried to flag down wouldn’t stop?
Starting mileage: 12363
Expenses:
Gas $26.50
Food $0
Lodging $0
Misc. $0
Total $26.50
Saved $23.50
+/- Trip $61.50+
