Good article describing the Bald Hills Rd. out of Orick to Martins Ferry. Grades range up to 16-18% on dirt and gravel road. It continues to Orleans. From Orleans to Browns Camp the road is wide but not oiled. The new road leading to Brown's Camp had removed numerous curves. From Redding, going west, the road has some grades of 10-12% and a new road is being constructed over Oregon Mountain. The detour begins 3 mi followed by 3.5 mi of the old road. At Willow Creek the new highway to Weitchpec just opened and is in splendid condition. 23 mi long. The first 8.5 mi out of Willow Crk is not surfaced and is dusty.
