2026 Winchester Bay vacation

[croat1]

For my east coast friends that might make the trip in the future here?s a few tips:

Make sure your truck and trailer are 1000% ready for the trip.  At times your on the road for hours with no service stations or rest stops.  Take your time.  Pack food and water just in case. The northern route in Oregon is barren.  The southern route in Oregon towards Nevada is white knuckle driving.  Narrow mountain passes that are steep and winding with no guardrails.  If driving a gas truck bring extra fuel for it.  I went by myself. I would suggest a crew of 3.  Driver and passenger and the guy in the back could sleep.

The event is great.  The hospitality is over the top.  Will I do the drive again?  Absolutely!!!

Awesome Joe. Looks like a great time. If I didn't have two kids under 2.5yrs right now I'd drive out there with you for sure.

I've never seen pics of your quads before I don't think. Got any more from the trip?

Tbone07, I for sure will make the drive again.  I will let you know.  I did not take many pictures.  We had a photographer that took 3000 pictures.  He is going through them now.  We also had a guy taking drone footage.  Once all that gets sorted Ryan will post a link.

Congratulations on the little ones!!!

Additional notes from the trip.  Good overnight stops are Rawlins, Wyoming and Sidney, Nebraska.

Easy access to restaurants and lodging. Lots of last minute on the road shopping and easy access for fuel.
