Off to an adventure in Oregon

Real Estate Agent with Sundance Realty

Last summer my husband bought a motor cycle.  This wasn't a snap decision by any means.  I had dragged my feet on him buying one for several years.  I had heard all the horror stories of accidents on motorcycles and I wasn't real sure I wanted my husband riding a cycle back and forth to work each day.  But once I said yes, he was looking through Craig's list with a passion.  It took him about 2 days to find a good "deal"  and off he went to to check it out.  Our neighbor a long time Goldwing fan went with him for moral support.  Well, it turned out that the bike was a good deal and we bought it.  My husband took a class at the local community college and drove several hundred miles and at the end of the summer I took my first ride with him.  It was more fun than I thought it would be and I was hooked too!  So later this week we are going on our first "longer" adventure together on the bike.  We are headed down the Oregon Coast to Florence first to stay at a bed and breakfast.  Then we are headed to Gold Beach and will camp for 3 nights taking a few side trips.  One will be the mail boat ride up the Rogue River.  My husband hopes we also go to to the redwoods and who knows what else.  I am wondering how I am going to get a Jeep full of camping stuff into one little motor cycle!!!  I think the restaurants and coffee shops will be calling my name!  I am hoping to be able to take a change of clothes and a coffee pot and then we will see.  He has rolled our tent, air mattress and sleeping bags all up together and surrounded them with a tarp and that is going on the outside behind me.  This shoud be fun! I am happy to say that we will probably end the time at friends in Lincoln City instead of camping that 5th night!  Sounds good to me.  But I am honestly excited about the adventure and the opportunity to see more of Oregon on the back of a bike.  It should be fun! I will update wmotorcycle triphen it is over with pictures.
