252 miles
This was a great ride to Bandon via 97, 62 through Crater Lake, 138 W, then Highway 42 at Roseburg. Had we known what the weather had in store we would've turned around and gone back to Arcata, but it had been so perfect I forgot to check. Lesson learned.

| Highway 62 to Crater Lake |
The route through Crater Lake was very scenic although somewhat crowded. At that altitude there is snow by the side of the road year-round apparently. The park fee was $5 per bike which was worth it for the scenery.

From Crater Lake we caught 138 west to Roseburg, then Highway 42 to Bandon. At Coquille there is a left turn to 42S which took us directly to Bandon. I had intended to take 42 to where it intersects with 101 at Coos Bay, then head south to Bandon, but we were running out of time.
