What an Ending!

One of our final stops on our way north heading for home is Dick and Gerry Carsons in Salem our Oregon State Reps for UMCI. There hospitality has been great and Gerry knows how to put on tasty meals.

After breakfast this morning they decided to take us on a ride out to the Oregon Coast. It has been warm enough the last two days to ride. We went to Mo’s Seafood Restaurant in Taft Historic District of Lincoln City

for lunch and boy were the chowders every good. From there we went along the coast to Newport and stopped at Depoe Bay the smallest port in the US. It is unbelievable how small the opening into the harbor is and they can only get in or out during high tide.

Our ride was 291 Kms of beautifully scenic back roads. We arrived back at Carsons around 5:30 p.m. A most enjoyable day. Thanks again Dick and Gerry.

So Rick.......
Just because you are home doesn't mean you have to stop your travelog...I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed every entry.
Just this morning I suggested to a friend of mine in Florida for the winter to review your blog. He has had his bike for sale for a year, and now he wants a trike. Best to you and Irene. Buzz
