Not bringing surf boards this trip. Still debating on mountain bikes, but we're going back past Ashland after thanksgiving and it's kinda hard not to ride there.

I've got a few friends who live up there that keep trying to convince me to bring a moto with me when I visit. So far I havent' got a hall pass for long enough to do both. This time around we're bringing grandma with us, so we have to take the soccer mom SUV with the 3rd row instead of my truck.

If you have some friends that know the area, its worth riding. Actually an amazing amount of riding in the valley...If you know where its at.:laughing:

Trucks been on generator mode for about 14 hours running the house; lights, tv, furnace, wifi, computers.

Apparently I unlocked Cummins mode. :flipoff2:

Confirmed on the dash a few minutes ago too. Hopefully my fuel gauge isn't fucked. :flipoff2:

Is it parked with the front downhill?

Yup, guessing it's not reading the amount correctly or it's only doing 15 minutes of run time for a couple hours of battery.

Got nervous and checked it again, gauge and app seem to be fairly consistent with each other.

We've had rain most of the day. Started getting jiggy with it pretty good about 3 but it's let up a bit now.

Oof. Been there. Got trapped in between the two for 14hrs heading to KOH one year. It took me 4 hours to go 60 miles. It was a huge shit show but I got through. Towing one race car and my personal jeep, all the race team food and cooking equipment.

I know. Cool story bro.

One night some supertrucker in a track suit lost it at the top of the hill headed south out of bend. They made us throw iron while we waited for the wrecker to clear him. I ran iron all the way to Chiloquin. A bit over 100 miles and after a bit I was the only one on the road either direction. Stopped to clear the ice off the windshield and a northbound plow truck stopped to make sure I was ok. Said he hadn't seen anyone all night. :laughing:

Fuck that whole area in the winter. :flipoff2:
 
Just seeing all this. Good thoughts sent to all you northwest coasters on this one.
 
I was driving home to Washington one year and they had I-5 closed due to heavy snow. Rolled up in my Bronco with all 4 studded buckshots, one burned out low beam, and a broken out passenger window(fuck thieves). For whatever reason the state patrol let me go, I had to get home to ship out to boot camp. I got to break trail all the way up the pass. Camped out at that rest stop up there. When I woke up traffic was moving again. It was awesome.

I remember a time getting on i15s at exit 225 in Utah pushing snow with the bumper and my stock trailer fender runners looked like skis on the onramp. The plows hadn't started on anything but the mainline interstate. Twas not a big deal. Just did what I needed to do.

Been the 1st tracks on many roads with 1ft+ for hundreds of miles. Never thought it was a big deal. Kinda cool really.

Been down 97 in winter in the middle of the night many times and it gets lonely south of Bend in blizzard conditions.

That's no kidding. There isn't jack squat between Chemult and Chiloquin and until 6-8 years ago Chiloquin wasn't shit either. The old truck stop is back open and the deli/restaurant inside is decent. Their burritos are bomb. :smokin: I used to run that route in the big truck weekly and usually at night.

I was always the asshole doing 40-50 running iron. I'd set them up tight, move about 50' and get another link so they were tight right. Never lost a chain or even a cross link with them cranked down that hard. :laughing:

I was at Coos Bay one time riding in one of these storms
Tide was all the way up
We were all riding single file going along minding our own business and a wave just reached up and grabbed a guy and his quad and just took them out to sea:laughing:
He ended up floating it back, but that was a 😲to see it play out in front of you

Almost the same damn thing happened to us at Spinreel. Big ass hurricane looking storm. We were shooting a gap on the beach to get around a very deep puddle and the 3rd guy got hit by a sneaker wave. He barely saved his quad.

We were between also Spinreel and Houser when it happened:laughing:, also during one of these super storms. (makes the best dunes, we used to seek the storms out when they would roll in)
