Road Conditions Update Updated May 6, 2012 New - Fields Creek Road / NFR 21 - Woohoo! A really good ride is getting a lot better. The only real blemish on this long, remote route is being fixed. From rider Charles Kollerer: "The Paulina-Izee highway is being widened and repaved this Spring for an 18 mile stretch. Currently, much loose gravel and dirt everywhere in this stretch, and frequent cross ditches re-filled after new culverts installed. Proceed with caution. If you're taking the 4 miles East towards Hwy 395, however, it won't matter. New - Hwy 180 & Logsden Rd - UPDATE: From newslincolncounty.com: "Logsden Road at mile post 18 is back open for full useage thanks to the completion of repairs by the Lincoln County Public Works Department and their contractor. The road was one of several major slides and slumps that resulted from January’s heavy rainfall." Wallowa Mountain Loop Road (NFR 39) Joseph to Halfway - From the August 12, 2011 update on the Wallowa-Whitman National forest web site: "Paving of the flood damaged sections of FSR 39 between Oxbow and Joseph are complete. Visitors may experience minor delays along FSR 39 as a result of pothole patching and slump repairs." That is great news! One of the best motorcycle roads in America is intact once again! Hamm Rd/Camas Swale Rd - Lorane Hwy to Creswell - The whole eastern portion, from just outside Creswell to the top of the hill is fresh, smooth pavement. Give it a few weeks for the shoulders to settle. The deep gravel on the shoulders is being strewn about the sharp corners rather badly right now. Next year at this time, this will be a tremendously nice road since the west side is already nearly perfect! To contribute a road condition update, click here.
