Update February 2021 - Lost Dog Road is now gated with no motorized vehicles allowed. It's only a one mile road walk to the AZ.

This is a very much out of the way summit, along Highway 101 on the Oregon Coast, about 14 miles north of Bandon. Note that there are other Peak 740 in Oregon - make sure this one is your intended peak.

About four miles south of the 101 - 42 junction, find Lost Dog Road near 43.2565, -124.2713. You'll follow the main track east and bear right and uphill after about 0.9 miles. There are no views and tons of trees to put up a wire antenna. HF will be the ticket to make any contacts. Verizon had coverage for spotting; T-Mobile did not.
