Tell me about your favorite (Route, Interstate, A or B road) highway? I am asking because it's a great way for me to plan a trip. My number one favorite is U.S. Route 395. It crosses California and a small bit of Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and ends in Canada. 395 is the main link between all...

Hi folks, I'm planning a 3-5 day trip into the wastelands of SE Oregon. Having done OBDR Route 4 last year and dabbled with a few routes in the meantime, I've got a few goals in mind for this trip: Maximize off-road/dirt time, even if it's obviously less efficient than paved routes. Bias...

Hey all! New to OB and just curious if anyone is in my area. Feel free to drop a line or PM.

We'll meet at the Peter Iredale shipwreck and spend the morning on the longest drivable beach in Oregon, from Warrenton to Gearhart. The drive is rated easy, so it's great for beginners. We'll head down to Sand Lake and play on the dunes in the afternoon. View Rally Point Details

Hey everyone. The GF and and I are heading up to Deschutes National Forest region by Bend at the beginning of April. I have a bed built in the back of my Tacoma for a sleeping platform so I don't need a tent area, just an area to park the truck and sleep/make food with a Jetboil. Any suggestions?
