Support the Return of Beaver State Roads

Hello, my name is Jonathan Ledbetter, and I run both Beaver State Roads and its precursor site, ORoads. Over the past couple decades, these sites showcased my love and appreciation for Oregon's highways, routes and roads. Throughout this time, I've done what I could to deliver accurate, timely current and historical information on Oregon roads without paywalls, advertisements or funding drives.

Unfortunately, recent medical and financial issues have caused both my sites to be taken down. Additionally, I've already lost access to my old ORoads domain name, and am in danger of losing Beaver State Roads' domain name as well if I don't act quickly. Furthermore, even once I bring back these sites, the reality is that a lot of information, including historical photos and newspaper articles, is locked away behind exorbitant research and copying fees.

I'm not one to ask others for money -- frankly, it embarrasses me -- and I understand that money is tight for everyone, but I would love it if you considered donating to help bring these sites back online and fund unlocking currently-inaccessible info. This has been a solo passion project since 2002, and I want nothing more than to continue providing the same great information, articles and adventures in and around Oregon's highways and byways. Any little bit helps, and any excess funds will be used to make the site even better. More on that soon.

If you've made it this far, thank you for your time and attention, and I hope to see you on the site once I get it back up.

~Jonathan, Beaver State Roads
