By ROBERTA and MALCOLM BAUER This six-whtel safari , in a way, a sequel to "Around the World in 80 Days." Our four children suggested, after a vis it to the Broadway theater, that, if Phineas Fogg, in the person of David Niven, could make it around the world in 80 days (81, actually), the Bauer family should be able to circle the state of Oegon in one-tenth that time. The state is much less than one-tenth the size of the world. Consequently, we took the vacation bait, not for the moment realizing that the two . of us combined were probably not a match for Jules Verne's Phineas Fogg, not to mention David Niven with the heiptui distance of the late Mike Todd and an extensive battery of script writers, cameramen, extras and props. And so we set out on the ex edition to which we affixed the hopeful working title of "Around the State in Eight Days," with the thought that, in that time, we would inspect and taste briefly the vacation pleasures available in a cir cumference of Oregon. Many Aid Traveltri We set forth in the Oregon State Motor Assn.'s white mo torlog station wagon, pulling a 15-foot Jewell vacation trailer. This is the first tip wed like to leave with the reader who hasftead this far: If you want to cover territory with a fami ly and a minimum of bother and expense, try a trailer, par ticularly a light one in the 12 to 16-foot class. All you need to do in the early morning light is open the door, toss in the eampine equipment and drive on. The standard equipment of the vacation trailer (ours had a propane gas stove, ice box, 12-gallon . water tank, sink, kitchen cabinets, clothes clos et, folding" dining table, bunks for five and lines for water and electricity) eliminates most camping chores. At each stop, a meal can be forthcoming a few minutes after tieing up. First, however, let it be ad mitted, that a full 'round-the-state trip would have taken Jules Verne Story Inspires Family In Circuit of Oregon Vacation Spots Ni3f SfZiT PENDLETON yX.lAKjri yt,"M- lagranoeS Jp BAKfeX. if OREGON FLORENCE vrw Ontario! k J IAKJE MlS N1 I I HL ASMLANCW AMilwJ. ( gg Pulling a 15-foot vacation trailer behind tha Oregon Stat Motor Assn.'s motorlog station wagon, the Bauer family took the above route on their eight-day trip around the state of Oregon. Their overnight stops are designated by stars. us initially to Astoria and thence southward at least to Coos Bay. We arbitrarily shortened this route, following what we felt to be a repre sentative stretch of Oregon coastline and then turning in land. Nor can we deny that a circumference of the state does not do justice to the merits of such lively and lovely regions as Bend, Prineville, John Day, etc. But we found our route quite enough for the time al lowed. First Day Portland to Hon- eyman State Park 172 miles. We took U.S. 99W and State Highway 18 to the coast, as do so many Portlanders who fre quent the Lincoln county beaches or Neskowin. We came to the sea air at the northern terminus of the 20 Miracle Miles," which stretch south from Otis. There is magic here for sure in the long, level beaches that stretch virtually all the way from We coma to Taft, and then beyond. One can fish offshore at De- poe Bay or Newport, or in shore at Devil's Lake or in the Siletz, the Yaquina or other rivers and streams that thread the coastline. We had no fish ermen in our entourage, as we later proved. Not the least of the magic miles' attractions are the state parks and waysides fitted into nearly every inviting turn-off along U.S. 101. One of these, the Fogarty Creek develop ment a few miles south of Kernville, has both stream and sandy beach and was new in the summer of 1957. It was jammed with cars and swim mers as we passed. As any experienced highway traveler knows, a good part of the battle is won by an early arrival at the night stop. This is especially important to pa trons of state and national parks, whose trailer and over night camping facilities are badly overtaxed by the cur rent generation of big families. Ed Baughmat, foreman at Honeyman State Park, south of Florence, confessed that he was hard put each night to find room for travelers along U.S. 101. Patronage has multiplied just in the past year or so. Luckily, we arrived at the rela tively early hour of 12:30 p.m., but the best places were taken soon after we had selected our trailer cove. The park that is named for Jessie M. Honeyman is one of the state's finest, with a great diversification of recreation fa cilities. Not the least- of its charms is its relative isolation from coast residential areas, It is thus the preserve of the visitor tcamping limit, one week). Its towering sand dunes rising to heights of 160 feet and more; the lakes (Cleawox and Woahink) for swimming, boat ing and water-skiing; its shaded camps area; the beach, a two-mile hike over the dunes all in combination are a temptation to stay for the week's limit With each unit of a dozen or so trailer or camping sites, a modern utility building offers toilet, shower and laundry fa cilities. And all this for $1.50 a night per family (with trailer) or $1 (for tenters). Second Day To Ashland, via Reediport, Roseburg, Grants Pass and Medford 222 miles. If anyone thinks, as we did, that today's pampered camp ers rise uniformly early, they are in for a surprise. As we rolled out at 5 a.m. for an early start, nary a neighbor was stirring. The day's destination was dictated by the season. W chose to see the Shakespearean Festival in Ashland. In any other month a visit to South western Oregon would have in cluded the Oregon Caves. The drive up the Umpqua from Reedsport to Drain is one of Oregon's finest, and there is promise that it will be even better in the future. Highway crews were at work on the route. Highway 99 into Roseburg and Grants Pass is also a hap py surprise to any motorist who hasn't traveled it in some time. Curves, once so nagging, are no more. The grades are easy and sweeping, providing for the first time opportunity to enjoy the vistas, of the last rich stands of virgin timber in the continental United States. But it is wrong on a vacation trip to sacrifice too much to speed. Although the new high way skirts Roseburg, we turned off and drove through the town.To see Oregon, one must see its cities as well as its beaches and mountains. This second night, we found a place with a lawn and a creek just north of Ashland. Here were permanent trailers or "mobile homes" some im bedded in a pattern of lawns and flower beds that would strike the envy of an East moreland gardener. Ashland, a tidy little city, is an attraction any month in the year, but especially so in Au gust, the month of the Shake spearean Festival. (To Be Continued) HILTS Daily Bible Classes End By MRS. M.
