Shelton to Portland 21st & 22nd September 2013

Last minute stuff.

Well the weather has taken a turn for the worse so it is just as well it is time for us to pack every thing up and head home.  Our last day was spent hanging around Portland organising stuff.  Today we have already spent far too much time in airports and we still have 3 more hours before our flight was due to leave and it is already running 1/2 hour late.
Not much sightseeing happening here.

Thinking about Germany in 2015.

Our ride from Portland down to LA.

Well that is it another holiday is all but over.  We have met some great people, seen fantastic sights and survived unscathed so far.  Hopefully we will get to come back some time and visit more of the states, we only have about 34 of the 50 left to do. We also need to get back to Texas!


Aberdeen to Shelton 20th September 2013

A nice drive around the lake and through the forest.









Seaside to Aberdeen 19th September

Washington State

As usual great scenery and an amazing bridge to cross the Columbia River.


This bridge just keeps going!






Our bike will be on one of these ships (Astoria, Oregon).



Portland to Pacific City to Seaside 17th & 18th September 2013

On the road again.

We picked up our new ride ( a rental car) and after a quick stop to have a look at the Spruce Goose we headed out to the coast and North to see how far we would get.  We stopped at Pacific City for one night before heading to Seaside.  As usual the scenery was fantastic but the weather is starting to get a little chilly now.

Howard Hughes Spruce Goose.



Our new ride.










A loo for the fishermen, how thoughtful.
