My son and I our planning our first Overland trip on November 3 - 6, long lead time is that our weekends are full with soccer until then. We are planning on following Route 6 from the Oregon Back Country Discovery Routes with a few changes. Starting this thread to document the planning process and will post a summary of the event once complete.

Of course this trip is weather permitting given the fall weather in Oregon.

@Brandon Harvey

I just got back from a coastal Oregon trip. Check the fire map before you set out. ( Here is the link we were following though the map is not loading currently https://gacc.nifc.gov/nwcc/information/firemap.aspx ) IIRC there were 3-4 fires burning near that route. We had planned to go as far as Gold Beach but turned back north at Bandon due to reported road closures and smoke along the coast south of there. If the rains keep up you should be good, but still best to check before you set out. Also be on the look out for flash floods starting in the burn areas.
