Leaving on a ride Tuesday and plan on going thru Burns Oregon to Frenchglen Oregon via Hwy 205 on my way to the Shasta /Trinity vicinity. It looks like from my research that its over two hundred miles plus between gas stations at Burns and Lakeveiw Oregon . Zephyrsix
Good for you, -nice spot on planet earth.
It is 250miles from Burns to Lakeview -although you can get gas a bit before Lakeview which shaves about 11miles if you're real desperate. 205 is one of the few roads in Orygun where you can ride faster than 35mph without getting thrown in jail.
**BUT** the smart thing to do is to get gas in Denio -and spend a little time enjoying that interesting spot. Since the owner died, the likelihood of gas is actually much more reliable. The seasoned rider always carries their number in his tankbag, as, if they don't have gas it is a long walk: 775-941-0175 -call ahead to be certain -and check hours if you're traveling odd hours.
I won't spoil all the frenchglen fun, ..but here is the merchantile. The school is an odd site as well.
The Hotel is very groovy and worth a stop -many folks come to spend the night and eat as they serve awesome dinners. Problem is, often it is phaggy bird watchers so the evening conversation is likely about what kind of birds they shot ....they shoot them with cameras not real guns so pretty boring stories.
on 140 You'll go through one of my favorite villages: Adel: (the store most likely won't be open though)
BTW: 140 is a road that is often overlooked so kind of a hidden gem ...and a very cool road. On the west side you likely will see snow in the hills by the primitive ski facility.
some great unique scenery on 140
BTW Denio:
The population has been stuck on 47 for many years now -how does that happen you ask?
Well, whenever a baby is born, the father instantly leaves town .....
You'll see some good interesting stuff, nice job on your route selection. If you have any questions, give a holler.
