Hi Mike: Good road, great scenery, enjoyed the ride. Thanks for posting, be safe out there, we’ll catch you next trip.

[@OlMossBack]

I really enjoyed seeing how Highway 42 has improved, thanks for sharing it. As a kid Highway 42 was my highway. I can remember my granddad telling stories about driving the stage between Coos Bay and Roseburg. Yep, one with 6 horses. It took them 3 days to make the 60 mile trip. In the mid 1940 's it took 2 hours and I would get car sick ever time from all the curves. A couple of things: the "basketballs" in the trees are mistletoe in oak trees. And, the area is pretty but incomes are generally low. It's an area where the people are hard and have to work hard to scrape by.

That moment when he turned on to Brockway Road through Dillard instead of going straight through Winston to I5. Ah well, lol Still a great view. Haven't run 42 in a couple years now.

[@gerimartinez2737]

I grew up in sutherlin and my dad drove truck 🚚 for 40 years or more I remember as a kid getting to go with him best time of my childhood with dad safe travels

[@justjudy39]

When I was a young teen just gotten my learners permit to drive, my mom worked in Riddle while living in North Bend so commuted 3 times a week. I drove that highway back and forth so many times its not even funny. Haven't been back in years so seeing how much has changed is awesome!! Thanks for the ride!!!

[@SilverJ56]

I grew up in Coos county!! Highway 42 was a bad road back in the '60s!!

I live in Roseburg. I drive 42 on a regular basis. Loved watching your trip. Stay safe out there.

My grandfather ran a tow truck company (Oscars Tow service) out of Coquille back in the 40's. My dad and uncle used to ride along when not in school and help hook up vehicles. I heard many bad stories of accidents in this road and into the river. Still have family across there from Coos Bay to Roseburg.

Bet he was busy. That was a deadly road in the early 60s

Nice ride, 1:57 remember the rock slide there. Usually take 138/38 love the drive along the Umpqua. The Beaver State welcomes truckers, I hear the logging truck jakes from my house on the coast. Safe travels!

Hey I'm here! The big city of coquille, I was born in Myrtle point my dad was born in bandon my granddad in broadbent. My family came here in 1872. And your right coos county is mystical.

[@ericclift1773]

@@windinthefirtrees8020 I got the chance to live in Bandon between 2010-2013 then I lived in Lakeside for a bit. My favorite places in this entire world has been that coastline. It sure is Mystical, perfect place to lose yourself and find yourself. That’s awesome to hear of such a history your family has there. I have friends that live in Bandon now because of the fires in Paradise, CA. Much love to that wonderful place on earth.❤️

I use to drive most the time as I was a Postal Rural Driver plus drive over a 100 miles each day but I retired on October 30/2015 and I love staying home watching you tube. I watch you guys driver on these road although I live in New Brunswick Canada. I find people in big truck are very polite but these other people that think their cars or smaller trucks go pass me too fast but I try to be stay and stay back behind big trucks and just watch the traffic. Have fun driving as I was told that I should have been a big truck driver but I am too old now and I love staying home watching you guys and gals driving truck. God Bless you . Stay safe!

Thought you forgot about us, until I saw your video pop up. Oregon sure is purdy country!

[@christinecortese9973]

This takes me back - I used to drive from San Diego to Seattle frequently and always enjoyed taking this route. Beautiful countryside. And I know what you mean about the sign ratio - I think of recent events more as an installation than an election. Peace back at ya.

My childhood home back in the late 1940's was Myrtle Creek. It was plush with douglas fir and blackberries as big as the end of your thumb. Please name the towns you come to or rivers/lakes you are near. So many of us have or do live in the area and it's so fun to know where you are.

[@tanie2946]

I get motion sickness REALLY easy, but I wanted to see my hometown so bad. Just to see it got cut. That's ok, at least it was early in the video. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! By the way, the mountainous part toward the beginning of the video, the part that was cut, used to get about 2-3 feet of snow every winter and trucks would get stuck if they didn't have chains. That doesn't happen anymore ☹ just too warm nowadays. Also Ben Irving is a reservoir. 😉

That is mistletoe (not basketballs, LOL) growing in the oak trees. Oregon's less populated areas are primarily conservative, therefore Republican. The more populated areas (more northerly) are generally more liberal. Born and raised in Oregon, lived in Glendale, Grants Pass and Medford.

Good evening everyone.20s here in ohio. Hope everyone is staying safe and warm.

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Good to see someone still driving the autoroutes, where as here travel is somewhat restricted to vital supplies only and if her in Holyrood had her way, trucking wise Scottish drivers would only be able to drive as far as the border with England and then drop their trailers and pick up what was available for deliveries up North. I tell you Mike over here its crazy, the ideas the governments come up with but I'm stuck indoors and have plenty to keep me busy - so Keep Trucking Three Fellah and lets see them routes you choose!!

First date with my wife, went to Bandon and was driving back home on this road. All of the gas stations were closed (Allow self service already Oregon!) and went from Bandon to Winston on less than a quarter of tank of gas, didn't think we were going to make it running on fumes for a good 20 miles.

In my neighborhood, people outside of it would install Trump signs even though it's certain that no one in my area would vote for the guy. Another thing is that you're likely to see Trump signs all over the country compared to democratic ones because 50% of the country lives in only 5% of the country whereas republicans are likely to live in less populated areas along the other 95% of land mass. It's why when you look at a 3D election map, republican's disappear.
