We decided to explore a mountain pass running along the south Umpqua River. Very scenic although lots of clear cutting in this area. When we got to the end of the paved road we followed the directions for the Umpqua wine route. Hmmm, this was unpaved, single lane and kept going higher and higher up the mountain. It was clear we were on a logging road. I had to get out and pull small branches out of our path and then it started to snow.  After passing through a few areas with snow deep enough to need our 4 wheel drive we reached a spot where the snow looked quite deep. Oh did I mention that there was 1000 foot drop on one side?  Another car had attempted to go through but clearly backed out and turned around. We decided that was the smart thing to do. A seven point turn later we were on our way to safety. We are not making it on to I Shouldn’t Be Alive lol.
