When traveling the interstate highways, always get a marked map from
AAA.

Kati Kim told officers they were traveling south from Portland on
Interstate
5 and missed the turnoff to a state highway, Oregon 42, that leads
through
the Coast Range to Gold Beach, where they planned to stay at a resort.
Officers said the couple used a map to choose the road they were on.
"They
got the map out - a regular highway map - that showed the route,"
Anderson
said.
However, it wasn't clear whose map the couple used. The 2005-2007 state
highway map distributed by the Oregon Department of Transportation has a
warning in red print, inside a red box: "This route closed in winter." A
Rand-McNally map did not have a similar warning.
