      Skip those other rivers and pop down south of border to swim and fish in Smith River. Cleanest river in lower 48. lol Crescent City, Ca come see the redwoods, plus if you’re coming from Medford you’d have to come down hwy 199 anyways to get to brookings or gold beach. Always love driving up to Brookings and going up the Chetco too though. This area is my home and I love it! Even if it is remote it’s so beautiful!

    I live near Bear Camp Road. The poor family actually went down a spur called South Galice Fork (most primitive, narrow, gravel, sharp-rocks road you can get) instead of Bear Camp Road which is 1.5 lanes/single lane but is paved. We did this ourself (in summer) as you have to turn right onto Bear Camp but if you keep going straight you find yourself on South Galice Fork which is why I know how it happened. We turned around at ~8miles in but Kim Family went about ~18miles in full winter + snow. It's amazing they made it that far. Another death occurred on Bear Camp a few years earlier than the Kim family when a guy took a camper up there and got stuck in a snow drift and couldn't get out They didn't find him for a couple of months from what I read. These days, they close it off during winter to avoid mishaps.

In the middle of those is the Capitol where another 8% of the population lives. Putting nearly 60% of the population within about a 100 mile chunk of the state.

      No doctors for certain conditions. The tourist can get on your nerves. Housing cost are getting out of hand. Start looking early, it took us 4 months to find a house we would consider. Contractors can be over a year out. Very few high paying jobs. I came from an area of 500,000 to an area of 6,500 so it’s very different. Not a lot of entertainment options. If none of that would be a big deal for you, then go for it. It is truly beautiful here.

    The Josephine Ophiolite is in that region and makes it particularly special. And the serpentine rocks are oh so beautiful. It is essentially where the mantle (oceanic crust) was uplifted to the surface. This brought up a lot of heavier elements to the surface that are toxic to life. It’s why the area has so little biomass but so much biodiversity. It’s tough for life to survive and life that does survive has to really specialize to make it work. Such a special area and I hope it can stay protected. Read recently that a Canadian mining company got rights to mine part of 8 dollar mountain, lets hope that doesn’t come to fruition.

If you look at a map of fires in oregon, the majority of the damage is on the land owned by the government. That's because private land owners have an invested interest in protecting it.
