Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
29th April – 30th April So it was an interesting start to my trip to say the least! After saying goodbye to Ken and Marolyn, which felt like saying goodbye to family, I finally hit the road. I’d made the mistake of thinking that it was going to be a boring ride to Crescent City,…
4th April – 28th April So I thought that it was about time that I wrote my first blog post of this next chapter of my adventure! I’d had such a lovely time back England, almost four months which included nearly two months in Spain, so I was really sad to say goodbye to my…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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. …
