Hard Cash Lane

We recently went to visit family in Bandon Ore. We took Highway 5, and so exited at Highway 42 to go west to the coast and Bandon. Along this route, I learned more street and town names than I had ever heard of before.
First, we exited at Green, to shortly get to Tenmile. We then drove about 40 miles or so to get to Twomile. But to get there, we had to go past Remote. After we passed Remote, we were all the way in Norway. There were several bridges on the route, but only one sign that said "Bridge". It turns out that was the name of a town we passed through.
We passed Cow Creek Road, which is the route to get to the towns of Dad's Creek, Cornutt, Peck and Riddle (and of course, Cow Creek).
The streets are named anything you can think of, but the ones that stand out in my mind are "LEEP" and "HARD CASH LANE".
Somehow the street names don't show up on Mapquest. They're just nameless roads according to the map. But the streetsigns say otherwise.
I recommend a drive down Highway 42 in Oregon. Not only is the landscape beautiful, but it's the only way to see the many and varied streetnames of the Camas Valley.
