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

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.
