Madison5716 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hey all, Anyone ever driven the so-called "Bigfoot Hwy", Oregon 224? I'm considering driving it one of these days, soon, on an overnight loop drive. Suggestions are welcomed, and if you have any experiences, please share. Is Joe Beelart around? I can't find my book, which seems really unfortunate. Any tips? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that you will see Bigfoot where 224 passes through southeast Portland. Joe Beelart is around. Message him on this forum. Peter Byrne wrote many books. He had the "Hood River Project" in one of his books. I don't know the title(s) or availability in the way of paperback / kindle or costs. Happy reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I drove it once while archery elk hunting in the early 90s. A lot of it reminded me of the area I had my first encounter in. It was really nice back then and worth the drive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xspider1 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) If I was within striking distance to any road dubbed “Bigfoot Hwy”, I would be definitely be there at some point. Good luck Madison5716! Please post pics if you make the trip! Edited September 14, 2023 by xspider1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 It would be good if you could drive it and show a live feed much in the same way as people go live on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your research partner. He might just still have it safe in his possession, and ready to return it to you any time you like. And when and if he remembers to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never used FB (nor will I), but a live feed would require uninterrupted internet access, wouldn't it? I could be wrong. But I seriously doubt you'd find service in much of that area.

He says it’s absolutely worth it. He lived in an area with virtually no service. It’s changed his life at home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very curious abt that! thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
