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…
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…
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. …
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…
Sunday 8th November Random Camping Spot, NV to Geyser Ranch, NV As expected, we didn’t get a very good night’s sleep at all. It was really cold, and my feet were freezing as I’d failed to notice that my socks were damp. My back wasn’t too happy about being in a tent either, but I…
