I am sure the view and the peoples are awesome as I can see from the pictures. No comment about the cops though

Guys have a safe trip, Will see you all in few weeks.

RVFR · 07-27-2008, 12:59 PM

Dude, get off your phone, or something... ;) the message I get keeps saying it's busy.

derstuka · 07-27-2008, 09:14 PM

UPDATE:

The adventures of Reg71 and SLOVFR continue.

Reg said they rode from "The Dalles" around the Columbia River Gorge, stopped at the Crown of the Columbia River Gorge, then onto Portland, OR. He said they were too worn out to make the Mt Baker run. They went thru St Helens and rode with JohnnyB & VFRShorty, and other folks, and now ended up at R.W.'s house in Fort Orchard, WA.

johnnyb · 07-27-2008, 11:11 PM

yea we took em down a few roads

RVFR · 07-27-2008, 11:16 PM

Pff did they call me? No... guess I know where I stand huh ;) Good to hear they're up here, now the real fun begins.

someboday call the WAAAAAHMbulance! hehe... hey we're gonna be there at you place with bells on in about an hour or so... I really wish I would have remembered that you lived near Olympia cause we got stuck in the I5 parking lot there for about one hour... Man! Is your traffic like that every day? I have never seen that much traffic on a Sunday... Well, lemme see if I can scrounge up another pic or two...

reg71 · 07-28-2008, 07:40 AM

Here's some dam on the Columbia River... I forgot the name for the moment...

reg71 · 07-28-2008, 07:49 AM

We made it to RWs last night and arrived with an appetite. After about an hour of stop and go in Olympia we were ready to knaw on bark... Lucky for us he had been shopping for fresh seafood (probably pretty easy to get considering where he lives is surrounded by water) Anyway, he fixed up some shrimp and oyster sandwiches that were yum yum. For God's sake whatever you do, just eat it with the mayo or you'll offend his delicate sensibilities!)

derstuka · 07-28-2008, 10:14 AM

UPDATE

Reg & Brian just made it to RVFR's house at 9:00am. They are waiting for another rider, then will make it over to Mount St. Helens for some riding.

FrankoQ · 07-28-2008, 10:38 AM

how many miles so far?

Well, it was 815miles to The Dalles from Atascadero, then another 230 to Port Orchard, then 50 miles to Olympia, WA.....sooooo.

815+230+50= 1095 miles. Figure a good assumption would be an error rate of +/- 100/0. I am pulled this entirely out of my

though. Yes, it hurt doing that too...

RVFR · 07-28-2008, 09:55 PM

Yep, we are doing just fine..

Tori · 07-28-2008, 10:02 PM

Great pics guys. Glad things are going well. Looks like fun !!

reg71 · 07-28-2008, 10:13 PM

according to GPS 1621 tot miles... as of right now...

R.W. · 07-28-2008, 10:19 PM

Perfect timing on that picture Jay! Can't believe you got all three of us in that shot

Tori · 07-28-2008, 10:26 PM

Yeah, now thats a calendar pic !

RVFR · 07-28-2008, 11:47 PM

Just in case you missed my take on it.

Reggie & Brian hook up ride

reg71 · 07-29-2008, 08:39 AM

Here's a pic taken after we worked our way back down to the Columbia Rvr gorge along Hwy 14. Very scenic. MOre traffic, but a nice view for the whole ride. Interesting terrain changes considering we went from millions of trees and mountains to rolling dry hills without a tree in sight in probably 30 miles or so...

reg71 · 07-29-2008, 08:42 AM

Here's an example of the terrain after we came down from the mountains...

reg71 · 07-29-2008, 08:47 AM

Ok, so we made it a little further today than originally planned...

Just kidding. We're not in England. This is a war memorial in WA that we wanted to stop by and see. It's same scale as the original but appears to be done in concrete...

Dunno. We figure we'll be near 3000 by the time we roll in to home base. That is if my bike doesn't fall apart. I think I'm leaving nuts and bolts all over the west. On the plus side, I think my VFR weighs less than any of yours, though...

Yeah, we'll probably have a few submissions from this trip... We have over 400 pics already and haven't made it to the coast yet. The weather looks to be nice, too. Maybe we'll get some lighthouse pics or some such...

Tori · 07-29-2008, 04:23 PM

I keep seeing only one tent.

SLOVFR · 07-29-2008, 11:06 PM

Well we are off tomorrow morning and heading to the Oregon coast. We are bypassing the freeways and see what we can find. We should end up in Coose Bay to camp. Reg has a stretched chain as it was really loose than got tight. We go it to a happy medium and lubed it good. We are all packed and getting some sleep soon for an early start. Night all.... Brian

I didn't take to many pictures on this little get together but here's a couple I've uploaded so far

Californians gearing up for the frigid 62 degree morning weather

Getting ready to depart from RVFR's

SLOVFR · 07-30-2008, 08:17 AM

Reg and Brian again...

We are about to roll out from The Dalles going around Mt Hood over to Wilsonville then diagonally down south to the coast and we'll camp somewhere out there depending on how far we feel like going...

I'll text Derstuka to keep this thread updated in case you all are looking for us...

RVFR · 07-30-2008, 08:24 AM

LOL who'd be looking for you two? Have fun, hope traffic on the coast doesn't foul you guys up to bad

SLOav8r · 07-30-2008, 08:27 AM

Sounds like you guys are having a blast.

We all gotta get together for beers once you get back and before I head out of town again.

Tori · 07-30-2008, 09:22 AM

Yes, keep the updates coming,....... i'm enjoying them !
