soos Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 If we can actually free ourselves up from family obligations, it is our intent to head to the PNW this summer, at some point. My ideal plan would be to loop around from east to west, maybe Idaho up to Washington and then south or if need be, up thru northern CA up to WA and then back south. fingers crossed that we get to go at all. The last 11 months we have been running from crisis to crisis, ugh. In some ways I just want to stay home and veg out but I know as soon as the temps hit 110, I will get hitch itch.

The problem is people don't always visit during the right time of year. Summer doesn't start until late June or early July in the PNW running usually through the end of September. I said usually because this year has not been usual anywhere. Well today is pretty much back to normal here in Depoe Bay. Not raining, but cloudy and windy, which makes for some really nice wave action on the rocks below our unit. As for this year, it has been the COLDEST winter in the last 32 years. and is real close to being the wettest also. So what the summer will be like is anybody's guess. As long as I can get the boat out for a few messes of Fresh Dungeness Crab I really don't care. And besides, EVERYONE knows that it RAINS ALL THE TIME UP HERE.

steved44 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Well, it looks like the first big storm session is heading this way this evening. Tornado's have been spotted in south west Oklahoma and we should get our part of the storm at around 9:00. I could crawl into the ice cream machine to hide, but it's a little too small. Nice way to go I guess! Just starting to rain now, so I guess you don't have all of it up there Joe! Now I found out today that i'm going to have to have a dental implant! Arrgghh. I've had one before and I think they drilled into my brain a little bit that time. How else can I explain that I can't remember anything anymore. It's either that or eat baby food! Hmmm, I always liked the stewed prunes! NO NO NO! I didn't say that. So now all I have to worry about is the remainder of the old gray matter being destroyed. Well, one thing about it is there is not much left so it will be hard for them to find it to drill into it. I could go back to Las Algadones and have it done, and at least have a margarita to go along with it, but miss the tornadoes!!!! Well, I need to go sandbag now, so i'll sign off and see if I can find any baaaaad whiskey for protection from the storm...

steved44 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Jeff, we got a lot of rain and lightning, but nothing severe in this area. Most of the larger storm went to the North. you're right, spring around here is a bit too exciting at times. We just got in the habit of being here in the spring and can't seem to shake it.

hdrider Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 We were thinking about waiting until next year and go directly from AZ to Michigan but decided driving through tornado alley this time of year just wasn't going to happen so we decided to head that way from Oregon. What's a few extra miles to avoid what seems to be certain bad weather. Hey Roger we have the House on the Rocks on our radar on our way to the Harley Museum then Door County.

Striper Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Sounds like everyone back in the mid west and southern mid west is doing ok right now. Glad you all have weathered the storms. Sure doesn't seem like a good place to be this time of the year though. Of course up here in the PNW we have been feeling the effects of the "Jeff Curse" since last October. That said, today is looking to be one of the days we live for up here, SUNSHINE. So we'll head down to Newport and visit the Aquarium today before packing our bags to head for home tomorrow.

Lavinmh Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Since everyone is talking about summer plans, guess I will let you know what ours are. Even though we no longer have our motorhome, we are planning a summer vacation. We will be leaving on August 13th for Albany, New York....quick trip to visit last living uncle who is in an Alzheimer home. Then on to Niagara Falls for a couple of days, down to Philadelphia and then back in Virginia on the 21st. Sure will be different type of travel since it will be in hotel rooms, but we are really looking forward to it. I will be flying to California again in early October to see family and meet my great granddaughter who will be arriving in early August. We are thinking about taking a cruise to Alaska in 2017. Not sure if it will work out but we are thinking about it. You all stay safe with the summer travels.

Striper Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Dang, that little vacation to the Oregon Coast ended yesterday. Now back home and time for reality to set in for a bit. Need to get the MH packed up as we are heading out for a week at the Grandy Creek TT starting Friday. Opening weekend for that campground. On Saturday a couple of the guys in the group and myself will be going to Paccar's Open House. Always a fun event getting to crawl all through the newest Kenworth's and Peterbilt's. Should be good for a few pictures to drool over later even. Had 1 bad time on our trip. On Thursday we went Beach Combing, saw that there was some really nice wave action going on a little further down the beach so I spent about 45 minutes crawling over big rock formations to get into position for some pictures. Only problem was the battery in my Camera died after the first shot. Since I only have 1 battery for the camera, that ended things for the day. But don't tell Carol I let that happen.

palamine Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi friends, I may literally be putting the horse before the cart but as we are starting to look at motorhomes, we would like to know where to find a list of the best vehicles to tow four wheels down. Not too small but definitely not a pick up. Suggestions please.
