Planning



Thursday night: We are finishing up web research for the tour. We're trying to become aware of most of the things to see and do along our proposed route while allowing plenty of flexibility for route changes as we go.
We rented an Electra Glide Ultra a couple of weeks ago for a day to check out the model so there were no surprises when we picked up the bike for a start of our 6 day tour.
We will fly to Portland Saturday and rent a car to drive to Redmond where we pick up the Harley rental. We then return the car at Redmond Airport and drive the Bike to Eugene for the night.
Our plans are to take lots of digital photos and notes. Post on this blog where we can find time at night and a computer to use. We'll fill in much more detail when we get back home.

WOW! Very impressive blog, and here I thought a "Blog" was something out of the Goonies, (it's my first blog!). Have fun and I'll be excited to hear all about your trip! Hopefully the Gypsy Bee Bikers make your way to Hearst Castle. Shawn

Things to do along the way.
www.geocaching.com
read the FAQ
Then look up a few terrain 1 difficulty 1 standard caches along your way. Enter the coordinates in your GPS unit and have fun.

Lots of family fun and gets you to great out of the way destinations. Little known parks and grave yards.

great reason for a bike trip.
