US-199 / State of Jefferson / fire (# 1756) Heading from Crescent City, my objective for the next day was to get up to at least the southern end of the Willamette Valley of Oregon. There were multiple routes to take, but the most direct if there weren’t going to be any snow problems in the Oregon Coast ranges was to take US 199 up to Grants Pass and then I-5 (or parallel) north to Eugene. Fortunately the prediction was for clearing for the one day I was headed up, so I took US 199. The scenery was mostly pretty and the traffic was relatively light, but I had to make time that day, so only one picture to serve as a base for multiple points: <b>Fire:</b> throughout Northern California and Southern Oregon, there was repeated evidence of the significant firestorms we’ve been having in the west. Typical when crossing one of the coastal ranges was scenes like this with lots of dead forest and hills that looked almost bare. I don’t know the name of the fire that was here, but I know there were multiple large fires in Northern California and Oregon – here I’m in California just a few miles short of the Oregon border. <b>State of Jefferson:</b> When I drive, I listen to NPR (National Public Radio) to keep up with news and to here commentary. The NPR station I was listening to most often as I was around the Oregon/California border sounded like a conventional NPR station in terms of the shows that they were running and the overall style, but they were saying something odd-sounding (JPR) in terms of their label and it wasn't until I got into southern Oregon that I realized JPR stood for “Jefferson Public Radio”. Since the name of public radio stations always reflects their region, clearly they were defining themselves as the public radio for the state of Jefferson – even though there is no U.S. state of Jefferson. The state of Jefferson is a proposal by counties in southern Oregon and northern California to separate from their respective states and form a new state. The supposed validation for such a state is that the respective state governments don't listen to the needs of the region. Embedded in much of this argument is protest against urban culture (urban elites). The Wikipedia entry about the state of Jefferson mentions that NPR in southern Oregon started referring to themselves as JPR in 1989. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_(proposed_Pacific_state)" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_%28proposed_Pacific_state%29</a>
