| Color code alert.
Nothing new from Homeland Security. The forest service has been using
a similar system for years to depict fire danger.
My brother, who lives in Ashland, OR. suggested a different route from Canyonville to Medford. Rather than following I-5, through Grants Pass, why not head east to Tiller, OR. along Highway 227? Then drop south into Medford? Like going around the other sides of a square, it would not be much farther. Instead of going south and then east, I would just go east and then south. That was a good idea. Practically no traffic. Much of the way was good biking shoulders. There was one long pass to climb, rather than I-5's two slightly shorter passes. Came into Medford by way of Shady Cove which is along the Rogue River. |
