Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
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…
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. …
Thursday 12th November Eureka, NV to Battle Mountain, NV We were quickly discovering that a problem with riding late in the cold and the dark, is that the following morning you reeeeaally don’t want to get up. I just wanted to snuggle up and enjoy the warmth of the motel room, and not go out in…
Tuesday 10th November – Wednesday 11th November Preston, NV to Eureka, NV Although it’d stopped snowing, it was overcast with snow still on the ground, and there was a bitter cold wind. I couldn’t face another day riding in the cold and snow, so we decided to stay another night. We were more than happy hanging out in…
Monday 9th November Geyser Ranch, NV to Preston, NV It was an early 6.30am start for us at the Ranch, as Steve was always up early and Stacey had already gone to do the 100 mile round trip to drop the kids off at school. Fortunately they only went 3 days a week, as Stacey was…
Sun 22nd February – Monday 23rd February When I woke up on Sunday morning, I didn’t expect to be ticking two things off my ‘Things to do in Canada in Winter list’. After having quite the feast for breakfast with their friends and family, and casually mentioning in conversation that we’d missed our chance to…
Friday 20th February – Saturday 21st February We left Rob’s fairly early, headed for Kenora. We’d avoided the Trans-Canada all the way so far, but after looking at the alternative route, which would have been more scenic yet had more dangerous corners and considerably less traffic if we needed assistance, we decided to get on…
