Iron Butt ride
Valley off to Seattle to visit Seattle Jenkins, so I loaded Beemer up for an Iron Butt day trip. Left McMinnville,OR south on Hwy 99w/South to Eugene,OR. Hooked into Hwy 36 going west into Hwy 126 to arrive in Florence, OR. Weather in Valley was moderate. I had taken liners out of jacket and pants. Arrived in Florence and turned south on Hwy 101. Destination was Coos Bay, Or. Weather was normal on coast. overcast and cool. Tried to stop at state park sites to take pics but all had a day use fee. You would think that all the money Oregon makes with it's lotteries, some of the waysides would be available with out a fee. Wanted to take pics of all the sand dunes. Arrived in Coos Bay, fueled up, purchased some Snickers bars and Mountain Dew for return trip. Headed north on Hwy 101 to Lincoln City, OR. Stopped to stretch in Lincoln City and headed east on Hwy 18 back to MAC. Nice trip. After hot tub and a few home brews it was time for bed!!
