2011-08-31 NERDS Keizer OR to Eureka, CA

KrZy8 pre-flighted and ready to rock at 0830 tomorrow morning. Most of the gear is packed, hopefully I'll meet FarWestFastEddie tomorrow night then run 36 on Friday!

Kind of tough saying goodbyes to Pops and Mom... almost on the road, an hour late..

The Renaissance hotel in Keizer OR is nice and the peeps are cool. Check out where KrZy8 is parked.. 

For 72 bucks per night, this place is a good deal. Be sure to mention you have folks in Avamere for the best rate..

Motorbike refueling only!

Just a bit out of Salem on 22W, and back into farm land.

..and Indian casinos too. Looks just like outside of Fresno/Clovis CA area..  

Typical small beach town.

All day on the coast was a bit foggy,.. kind of a haze, just damp enough to blur the sunglasses and shield.

The 'I was there shot'

The rider ahead is on a Honda 500 - remember them? The twin with a V motor sideways, water cooled?

Lots of bridges today..

and small harbors / marinas.

Different types of bridges too - concrete, steel, trellis.. I wonder how it's decided what type of bridge to build when they all essentially do the same thing? 

Must have been low tide - check out the sandbar in the middle. 

One of many East - West roads that are fantastic rides. If I had more time, I would have made several east-west loops..

The 'I was here pix'..

A high res camera is in my future.,, this wold have looked nice sharply in focus.. That's a working lighthouse on the left..

Seal Caves. I've been there before so did not stop.. It's really smelly down there..

Dunes, beach, water.. nice.

The long arm of the law can reach you off-road too.

Dog friendly! 

Yet another bridge, LOL, BikerGeek99 Andy has church pix, I have bridges..

Check out the rotating bridge so ships can pass..

Even I'm getting tired of bridge pix now..

Give it a break, will yah dcarver?

Entering North Bend..

Told yah so!

Coos Bay has a small train mooseum.. Taken for my bud, Engineer Roy.

Check out the small engine on the right.. Maybe for pushing cars around in the yard?

Fresh asphalt, courtesy of Obama.

The weight on the top is raise he bridge up so ships can pass underneath.

I love our flag and country..

One of my favorite spots when in the camper..

The bridge to Gold Beach, OR, south on 101.

Jerry's famous boat ride..

Been some time since I've seen this state..

How much for that dog in the window?

For a second, thought I was back in Morro Bay,,

Trees O Mystery..

Freaking wild life again. .Bison in Yellowstone, Elk here.

That meal was delicious!  

Big rack..

Last shot..

Holed up in Eureka in a BW, met FarWestFastEddie, a great guy! Thanks for dropping in to see me Ed!
