Summit 1510 is a 1-point drive-up approximately 22 miles east of Coos Bay, Oregon. This summit is on State land. Roads are generally well maintained but the last section may be quite muddy/slick with some exposed rock. Marginal cell service was available on AT&T and Verizon.
Directions to the summit:
Peak 1980 is on Washington State DNR land approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes north of the Portland Metro area and about 6 miles south of Cougar, WA. This land requires a WA Discovery Pass.
The summit is a drive-up, but the last .75 miles is rough and a mid-clearance vehicle with AWD or better is recommended. See SOTL.AS or Sota Maps for the route GPX file.
There are a few trees remaining for a wire and open space for a vertical. I made one contact on 2m into the Portland Metro during a weekday morning using a half wave whip. You should do better on the weekend.
This summit is a complete Priusable drive up. The actual summit is a few hundred feet distant with about 40 feet of gain, so the road is in the activation zone. Getting to the top is an easy bushwhack through recently logged open forest. To get there find the Mckenzie River and highway 126 whch runs along it.
Turn off of the highway 126 at 44.2371, -122.05542 onto NF-2654 which is paved for a while.
Take a right at 44.2502, -122.0607 to cross Deer Creek.
Take another right onto NF-2655 at 44.2554, -122.0577.
Final right at 44.2584, -122.05348 onto 616.
