The hard paved highway is 're placed with . beautiful mountain passes and shady glens that lead over dirt and rocky roads. , The monotony -of "the - pavement's edge" Is 'pasted and forgotten in the thrill of deep- canyons and safe but narrow mountain turns; and the dry dust of the valley is left behind and clear - blue-sky rivers, fill the mountain -air with the rattle, roar and babbling of i ' '! ; - 1 ' -I r( U tw'IN M . te w 1 .

CLOSE UP OF CAR ......... , . . . A close up of a part of the mountain roadway, of the steepest grades of the trip.' their rapids and falls. : ' The Little North Fork trip is not a long one in point of miles nor yet a weary irip in point of time, for at every turn -comes new thrill, and one's excitement .(if hQ be a real lover, of the open places) .carries him on to heights that only such a scenic display could give. ; i Leaving ' Salem east on State street,' one. passes the State Pen itentlary to his left. At the "4 Corners" one follows the pavement to the right and within the next five miles the Cottage Farm, State Hospital and Boys Training School are passed in order mentioned. Turner, Aumsville, Sublimity and Stayton are passed. , At Stay- ton the road i continues straight ahead from the approach to the town, toward Mill City. ' Indica tors mark the way well and a lit tie care on the part of the driver will eliminate any possibility of getting off the right road, r A few miles east of Stayton Is the end of the pavement at the present' time. A good gravel sur faced road leads from here into Mehaina which is 30" miles from Salemit U .r; T f. : -v . i , Mehhma Is on the "north side of the North Santiam river mnd the road here ' leaves the valley and goes to the left where the indica tor says "Elkhorn;" from this point on there 'Is but ohe road1 that -leads direct, up the .

Flats" has been given to the small district surrounding. Before , the county and state had given help 'for Abetter ftoads this flat marked the . place where the mountain roads' began to get too heavy to pull without chains. One of the big features of the Santiam country is the spring wa ter that comes trinkllngl from the rocky walls here and there. Rock Springs is the first of these springs that one comes to, -and a,hy tourist in the world -will appreciate a drink of this crystal clear water. Clay Point, Camp Flats, and. the first Covered Bridge crossing the Little North Fork of the Santiam river are the next points of inter est. Good fishing obtains at any of the many "fish .- holes? ' along this part of the river. Approximately 41.4 miles from the Capitol city, and a short dis tance over a mile above' the first covered bridge. Just at the left of the road in one of the most pic turesque parts of the trip is a great rock that rises some 75 feet from the root of the neighboring pine and fir.
