Bandon-Crescent Route Is A Novel Trip For Tourists Probably no part of the Oregon coast affords a more interesting mo tor trip than the route from Bandon m Coos county, down through Curry county and across the state line to Crescent City, California, says a writ er in the Marshfield Record. This stretch of coast highway of approximately 140 miles, gives the traveler the opportunity to visit his toric and unusual places and .to enjoy a great variety of scenery. The road leads over mountain ridges which run down to the sea. leads through a tine dairy and farming country, takes one through the wildest of the un tamed woods and at many points dips down to the very surf cf the Pacif ic ocean. Off tlie Reston Track The one most attractive feature of this trip is the fact that the tourist in his modern machine is going thru a territory which can be seen in no other way. except by traveling over this highway. It is miles away from a railroad and it is a source of great enjoyment to go through a country which until lately w,s Known by com paratively few. Curry county is re garded as the last undeveloped dis trict of Oregon and is one of the most isolated parts of the coast as well aB being one of the most picturesque. The road is a good one all the way and quite up to the standard of oth er highways through country of the same nature.
