I'll be spending some vacation time this year in Oregon. My last work day is August 11th (possibly off for the rest of the month). This works out because I can make the Winchester Bay meet up. So, where should I fly in to? Any suggestions on what to do....places and people to see? Cool towns? Bar/restaurants that are a must go to?
thanks
Joe

Definitely fly into Portland(PDX). The Acropolis in Portland is a must see! Are you going to be renting a vehicle? I have never rented anything near Winchester so I can't give you advice there,but you know that you are welcome to stay in my camp. As far as other places to stay I suggest checking out Mcmenamins. Check out their website. They have places all over.
-
I'll be renting a pick up. For sure I want to travel the coast.
-
I always see eugene, OR as a food destination. seen several restaurants featured on diners, drive-ins and dives and a few on the travel channel.
-
is there seafood places at winchester? i have only see the dunes and the showers. oh and that coffee shop
-
Who’s all going this year
-
Between florence, Winchester bay, and Coos bay you should be able to get plenty of seafood. Coos bay also has a dirty little strip club.....
-
Those are always fun!

Joe this cracks me up. I’ll be in Croatia the beginning of August while you’ll be in Oregon haha. I’m aiming to be home around Aug 14 and then can meet up with you back in town!

Ryan. I was supposed to be in Croatia also....obviously plans changed. It is a beautiful country. Enjoy your time there. Can't wait to meet up with you and the rest of the guys. I'm booking my flight today. Looks like I am staying for 8 days.

Flight is good to go. I’m arriving on the 12th and leaving the 21st.

You'll love Oregon Joe. Too bad you don't have a month to check out all the cool stuff.

I’ll do my best to see as much as possible...for sure I’m going to visit LED, ESR and Pete at Hybrid. I’ll be putting a lot of miles on the rental vehicle. I can’t wait to see the coast.

The coast is a blast, don’t forget to see some of the valley too or take a trip up highway 6 through the Tillamook Burn through Browns Camp.

I could stay longer but I’m trying to rollover as much vacation time as I’m allowed into next year. I think 8 days works well for my first time out that way. Hope to make it out 2 times next year...maybe 3 times.

what an EPIC trip. Cleveland to Portland. Got off the plane and I had a R in about 1.5 hours. I had a quad and a rental truck and I was on my way to see Kevin. Within a few hours we were having beers and talking R's like we have been friends for years (thanks Kevin for doing a once over on the quad). Getting stoked about being on a R trip. Spent a better part of 2 days with Kevin. Time came to head towards the dunes. Met up with Loren and his family for breakfast then off we went. Off to Winchester Bay. Winchester Bay is awesome. Words and pics can't do it justice. Loren and his boys were my tour guides for the better part of a day ....before the rest of the ORG crew showed up. Staying in Lorens camp was like staying in a 5 star hotel.....way too accommodating. Breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared by Loren and his wife. THANK YOU!!!
The ORG meet up has so cool. Meeting Ryan, Gene, Loren, Kevin, Tony and the rest of the guys (sorry if I forgot anyone in passing). Meeting everyone's family and friends....words can't explain how humbling it was. I owe you guys big time!!!! Such good people.
Having Eddie Sanders show up was just unbelievable. Thanks Gene for contacting Eddie. Talking shop, Riding, having a beer and lunch with Mr. Sanders...how cool.
Ryan, thanks for ORG!!! Such a pleasure to meet you in person my friend. Thanks for making sure we were all good to go. Next time I'll make sure we see the sights in the big city.
Tony, nice talking to you my friend. I'm looking forward to next year. To ride and talk shop.
Thanks to ALL once again. I wish I could share my experience with family and friends here at home but they don't get it....This was one if the best riding trips I have ever taken...many more to be made (I promise).
Friends!!!! BEST FRIENDS!!! ON THE BEST R FORUM!!!
SEE YA SOON!!!! Your not getting rid of me just yet LOL!!!

-
Joe, It's amazing that you traveled so far just to hang with a bunch of dude's you didn't know. I feel privileged that I was able to show you our dunes. The look on your face when you saw the sand was absolutely priceless. Thank you for your generosity and great treatment of my boys. You are family now! See you when you come back
-
Glad you had great time Joe hopefully I can make it next year I love Winchester bay it’s just an all around great place
-
Really was a great time this year, it's never long enough. Joe great of you to come out and check out the sights, plenty of time to see the rest! Loren, thanks as always for having the camp dialed in. Gene thanks for inviting Eddie. Everyone else was great to hang out and catch up! Next year should be great fun too!
