I have lived in Douglas County for over 16 years and probably have only traveled over half the county roads, mostly in the north end of the county. The best part of driving the back roads is the scenery and not much traffic. The county roads are well maintained. It would take a life time and good amount of money with the price of fuel these days to cover all the roads in the county, including all the forest roads on the Umpqua National Forest and the BLM roads.
Picture is looking north at Tyee Mountain on Melqua Road in Coles Valley.
And we can partially thank timber harvest on the O & C Lands for the many fine roads in Douglas County. Funding to their coffers used to provide a lot of great support to the 18 or so O & C Counties.
