OR-36 Junction City to Mapleton - By I been everywhwere

Between Salem Oregon and Eugene there are 5 major ways to get to the coast. Starting at Salem, from North to south, they are Rte 22 ( out of Salem, which splits into 18), Rtes 20 and 34 (out of Corvallis. 20 goes to Newport and 34 to Waldport), Rte 36 (Junction City) and Rte 126 (Eugene). The Junction City route is probably the best of all of them, although 34 out of Corvallis to Waldport is a close second.
