Day 26+1 (and 2) – Portland, OR
Monday, July 27th, 2020 – Lincoln City, OR to Portland, OR How nice it is to sleep late, even if only for an hour or so! Without any pressing need to be on the road early, we were blessed with the luxury of rolling out of bed when ready, and heading toward Portland at our…
Day 26 – End of the Trail
Sunday, July 26th, 2020 – Roseburg, OR to Port Orford, OR After nearly four weeks of riding across America on the roads less traveled, of seeing sights that relatively few will ever get to enjoy, and of facing daily challenges that test one’s endurance, today we would complete our trip. And what a superb way…
Day 25 – Oregon Redux
Saturday, July 25th, 2020 – Lakeview, OR to Roseburg, OR Boy oh boy… was it dry out West. And very, VERY dusty. So dusty, in fact, that after many, many miles of enduring the choking conditions on the powdery dirt trails, we elected to detour onto pavement for much of the duration. Not that this…
Day 24 – Oregon Trail!
Friday, July 24th, 2020 – McDermitt, NV to Lakeview, OR OK, so not the ACTUAL Oregon Trail, but our path DID go across Oregon, so… there you go. Leaving early in the morning is a delight. Temperatures are cool (this morning about 57 degrees), traffic is negligible, and sunrises, majestic. We departed McDermitt, NV around…
Day 23 – Schitt’s Creek
Thursday, July 23rd, 2020 – Battle Mountain, NV to McDermitt, NV Yes, pretty much exactly what the title says. And also one of the best days of our adventure. The morning started early once again, and nearly with an immediate set-back while still in Battle Mountain: a gate posted with a Private Property sign. The…
Day 22 – Nevada, Take Two
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020 – Ely, NV to Battle Mountain, NV Today was a GREAT day. Another early departure had us on the road from Ely just after sun-up, blessed with cool temperatures and fine riding conditions. It was a long day in the saddle, with a total of over 225 miles covered. To put…
Day 21 – Nevada
Tuesday, July 21st, 2020 – Richfield, Utah – to Ely, NV Early to bed, and early to rise, gets you on the trail sooner… and also makes for some great photographs! We departed Richfield, Utah just before dawn and headed westward towards Nevada. The brilliant Crystal Peak is visible from a great distance as one…
Day 20 – Thou Shalt Not Pass!
Monday, July 20th, 2020 – Price, Utah to Richfield, Utah Some days, well… they just start out with a set-back. On this particular morning, we departed Price, UT and headed southwest to Emery, and into the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The trail began fine enough, but very quickly turned a bit nasty. Our ascent into…
Day 19 – Black Dragon Wash
Sunday, July 19th – Moab, UT to Price, UT This one was REALLY a day to remember. Following two great days in Moab, we covered another 70+ miles of beautiful terrain this morning on our way to Green River, Utah. After stopping there to tank up, we continued along the trail, and ran into our…
Day 18 – Moab Revisited
Saturday, July 18th, 2020 What a treat to have two days in a row at the same hotel, with world-class riding at one’s disposal. How lucky were we to have a second day to enjoy Moab! We had a great ride around the La Sal Mountain Loop Road and Castle Valley, with amazing views of…
