Well, about 2 years ago in April I tried to go through Agness as a shortcut from I-5 (Merlin) to hit Highway 101 but couldn't make it pass Galice because the roads were closed for the heavy snow season. Agness, Oregon, is gold country. That's one rugged place.

Thanks Seashelly. That's something, because none of my maps show Galice either, which will put me closer when I do Google Earth!
I wonder if anyone here has ever/does live in Agness and might come and rescue me with some more help?

They just did a story on the Sunday Today show (NBC) regarding Agness, they showed how the US mail is still delivered by jet boats.
You may want to look on their web site and see if they have any history on the area. good luck. freedom

Hello,
Agness is located 38 miles east of Gold Beach. The population is approx. 250 and the world famous Rogue River runs right thru the center of town! Agness was once a mining community that has since turned to an outdoorsmans paradise. Agness is noted for it's salmon and steelhead fishing, hiking and camping.

I just wanted to advise Seashelly that she may not have been aware of it, but the route she is talking about not being able to travel is the same route that the family from California tried to take at Thanksigiving time a year or two ago and the husband died trying to get out to get help for his family.

I've been to Agness once via a trip up the Rogue River on one of the Jet River Boats. That's been 35 or 40 years ago. All I remember of it was the General Store/Post Office by the river. I figured that's all there was of the town.
It may be gold country, but I don't think there's any serious mining in the area anymore. Maybe the occasional out-of-towner trying their luck with a metal detector.
