Highway 101 and Highway 1

We left Albany, OR this morning and headed to Newport on Highway 101. It was foggy and not clear and not what we had hoped for. However he made the best of it and had a great day. This is a shot of the beach just south of Newport. If you look close you can see the fog in the background and the beach in the foreground. It was 54 degrees and windy. ROM

Coast highway

Visibility very limited all day. The "ride" was still awesome and temps low to mid 60s all day. GMS

Our Destination: The Pacific Coast

We finally arrived at our destination around 4 o'clock on Saturday the 22nd, the Pacific coast at Seaside Oregon. Even though smoke clouded the area it was still a sight to see. We have traveled from coast-to-coast, East to West and from border to border, North and South. We will now begin our journey down Highway 101 through Oregon to the California state line where Highway 101 becomes Highway 1. We should reach Redding, CA sometime on Monday and begin our journey home. ROM

The grand Pacific coast

We have arrived! Fantastic day but the smoke hovers. Winds today out of the N E and carrying the smoke from all the fires. Still awesome! GMS

A Salute to Our Trip Sponsor

We would like to thank Southwest Sporting Goods of Arkadelphia for sponsoring our trip this year out of petty cash. Special thanks to Scott and Sloan for making this all possible. Thanks Reggie for the sacrifice.ROM

More repairs

Saturday morning in Vancouver Washington it's up and out to the oldest family owned HD in the NW, since 1945‎ has been with the same family. Then off to Portland to Latus Harley, not under same ownership, but dates back to 1912. Just 9 years after HD made their first cycle. I also discovered that my shift repair wasn't holding and they had both parts to get repaired, hopefully this will hold. So off to the coast! GMS
