An al ternate to the Newport-Florence trip ie to travel over the Alseu highway, running from Philomath to Waldport, at the ocean end. The distance ie about the same. Beading into the Caacadea, the most popular tripa are those op the McKenxie rirer and ita many tribu tariee to numerous resorta and pri vate summer homes in the great for ests of Douglas fir, and up the Will amette where many beautiful spots are being made more ensily accessible aa better roads are provided. A development which will make the Cascade region even an popular la the building of the Box Canyon toed by the forest service, linking the Mc Kenxie and Willamette nighwaye with a north aad sooth passage ta rough the mountaina. This aew road makes aoasible a loop trip of 1ST miles from Eugene to Kugene, every mile of the trip through sce nic territory, much of It heretofore' to be eeea only from forest trails. Aa described by Perry A. Thomp son, euperviaor of the Cascade Na tional forest, the new route Is espe cially suited to parties wishing for an overnight trip which will allow a maximum time to be spent in the woods and still permit a leisurely trip. The road la to be open for the general public about July 1. Tho Box Canyon road, Mr. Thomp son emphasized, is not a speed road hut a rood mountain road, easy to drive with the average car but with numerous curves, many of them quite sharn. Motorists making this trip should not attempt to go faster than 20 miles an hour. To make thia trip, motorists may drive to Oakriilge over tho Willam ette hifcbway, 48 miles from Eugene. At Oakridge, the High Prairie road is followed for 10 miles to where it crosses the logging operations of the Western Lumber coniany at Camp 3. While the camp will bo closed down for the summer because of firo haz ards, the new road is to be kept open for travel. Three miles beyond tho logging camp, a forest patrolman will be stationed to record all partiee en tering the area. Seven miles further on, or 28 miles from Oakridge, the firat camp ground ie reached near tbe new bridge over the North Fork of the Willam ette. Another mile brings one to Brock cabin, a famoua landmark of the region for tbe past 40 years. Nine milea more and the Box Innyon ran ger station is reached. Thia station ia located on tbe divide between the Willamette and McKenxie watersheds. Leaving the ranger station, the road follows down along the beauti ful Roaring river for about fonr miles to Frixaele Crossing on tho South Fork of the McKenxie, 37 miles from Oakridge and 22 milea from the Mc Kenxie highway Junction. From r nr. ell Crossing on down to tho main river the forest service has provided a series of camp grounds for the use of tbe public. Moving down tbe road. one passes those at Twin Springs, Homestead, Dutch Oven, French Pete where the trail tnkes off for the Indian Ridge country. Drift Point, Knst Fork, Congnr Creek, and Belknan Sawmill.
