TAT Day 113 (Port Orford, Oregon to Klamath Falls, Oregon)
Friday 27th November Port Orford, OR to Klamath Falls, OR We couldn’t have asked for better weather when we finally woke in the morning. High in the bright blue sky sat a deliciously warm sun, and we got a real surprise when we stepped out of the motel and realised just how toasty it was…
TAT Day 112 (Klamath Falls, Oregon to Port Orford, Oregon)
Thursday 26th November Klamath Falls, OR to Port Orford, OR A week after arriving at Ken and Marolyn’s it was time to finish what we’d started, and complete the TAT. Ed’s new sprocket was on, his stripped axle was replaced with my old axle which had been sent to Ken’s back when we were in…
TAT Day 106-111 (Crescent, Oregon to Klamath Falls, Oregon)
Friday 20th November to Wednesday 25th November Crescent, OR to Klamath Falls, OR Similar to me tempting fate with my words and thoughts, booking any accommodation is a sure fire way to guaranteeing something going wrong. There was only one place to stay on the next section of the route, so planning ahead…
TAT Day 105 (Silver Lake, Oregon to Crescent, Oregon)
Thursday 19th November Silver Lake, OR to Crescent, OR We woke to yet another bright day and sunny day, which did wonders for our motivation and enthusiasm. Clouds still hung in the sky, and as we took a paved road out of town a beautiful rainbow appeared over the road. I could have…
Apologies for the lack of updates!
Hello all! Big apologies about the complete lack of updates and blogs. I have excuses, of course! We’ve been busy making progress. The distances are long for us in between motel/gas stops and the days are short as far as light goes (sun sets around 4.30pm) so most days we’re having to ride the last…
TAT Day 104 (Lakeview, Oregon to Silver Lake, Oregon)
Tuesday 17th November – Wednesday 18th November Lakeview, OR to Silver Lake, OR Partly due to laziness, but predominantly due to Ed having the best nights sleep he’d had in ages, we decided to enjoy another night in the massive comfortable bed. After a day of lazing, laundry, TV watching, eating and general procrastinating, we…
TAT Day 103 (Fields, Oregon to Lakeview, Oregon)
Monday 16th November Fields, OR to Lakeview, OR (Apologies that this next bit is a tad lengthy, but I needed to write and post it to get it off my chest. Feel free to scroll down to where we leave the hell hole that is Fields Station) We got up in the morning, packed up most of our…
TAT Day 102 (McDermitt, Nevada to Fields, Oregon)
Sunday 15th November McDermitt, NV to Fields, OR After breakfast in the casino, we finally crossed the border in to Oregon. This was a particular milestone for us, as apart from a little dip back in to Nevada and California, it was the last state that the TAT finished in. Finally the end…
TAT Day 101 (Paradise valley, Nevada to McDermitt, Nevada)
Saturday 14th November Paradise valley, NV to McDermitt, NV We ended up spending all morning and part of the afternoon with Lee. He was good company, and kindly cooked us breakfast while Ed got to play with his guns out of the kitchen window, before heading outside to do some clay pigeon shooting. …
