Buddy and I just took this one today 6/1/14. Went south to Pacific City for lunch, then back north through Tillamook and home via 6.
This stretch was great. Most of the tight short turns are either labelled with a road sign or you can see through the them, but there are a few blind ones to watch out for. The road is mostly smooth asphalt, but does have a few rough spots.
Starts of off with some great open twisties. Then about a third the way in, you'll hit 2.6 Miles of packed dirt and some loose gravel. We crawled through it around 20mph on a SV650 and a Suzuki Katana. After that it's a great ride, with only two or three more rough patches, less than a mile each.
There was a 'road closed' sign, but we kept going anyway. One of the side roads was in fact closed, but this road was open.
Traffic was light, maybe 6-7 cars the whole stretch, none got in the way.
Great ride. If you're thinking about it, just go do it.
