Re: [emrat:2413] F/Y/I July Oregon Trip

Jay and Norm,

We are probably more likely to run into you along the coast.  We aren't going to the MOA Rally, but our current schedule is as follows:

Leaving Wednesday July 17th, 

July 17th - Lander, WY
July 18th - Arco, ID
July 19th - Juntura, OR
July 20th - Albany, OR
July 21st - Eureka, CA
July 22nd - Bodega Bay, CA
July 23rd - Redwood City, CA
July 24th - Off Bike Day SF - Alcatraz

Haven't quite finished sorting out how much further down the coast we want to go yet, or the route back.  Thinking at least as far as Big Sur.  Need to be back no later than Monday the 29th, probably more likely Sunday the 28th.

- Sean

Jay and I will be making another trip to the west coast in July for the National BMW-MOA Rally in Salem but one not need attend that event to join us.  The BMW rally features lots of live evening music, meals, vendors, seminars and 5-8000 riders all for a very low cost of under $50 for guests, less for MOA members.  Don't we wish Triumph would underwrite RAT events!

We plan on leaving Sat morning July 13th and doing Colo and Utah back roads spending Sat night camping in Green River, UT.  Riding back roads in UT on 
Sunday and camping in Great Basin National Park or in Ely, NV depending on availability.  Then we will do the Loneliest Road in America (a/k/a US 50) to Reno and  a few miles on US 395 in NE California to ?.  The next day will bring us into John Day, OR for the night but plenty of time to ride the Strawberry MTs.  Wednesday will take us to Salem on some of the best MC roads in the US for the Rally thru Sat night.  That's about 1800-2000 miles.  Not an Iron Butt but plenty of good twisty 2 lane roads most of it in mountains with lots of sites,  picture opportunities and the occasional cold beer.

Anyone interested in joining us, let Jay or me know.  Jay and I plan on spending 10 days on the coast before heading back so this is probably just joining us on the way out.

While we camp, there are of course motels near where we stay if that's more to your liking.
