There have been quite a few bikes in a couple of our photos and we have also been struggling to find accomodation since we arrived in the Badlands.  This is because there is a huge motorbike rally going on in Sturgis, and when I mean huge I mean American huge!!  The event officially goes onContinue reading “Get on Your Bikes and Ride!”

The trip started with an awesome drive up to 8300 ft through the Big Horn National Park. Tim had a great time driving the Hybrid like a rally car! It really doesn’t feel that high considering Alpe Du Huez is only 6,100 ft! Then we went on to Cody, which was where Buffalo Bill wasContinue reading “Drive to Yellowstone”

Okay so Yellowstone was a place that we both had as a must do in our American bucket list. And to tell you the truth it didn’t start out too well. However it is mostly due to the fact that there are people everywhere!! Apparently even though it is peak season this time of yearContinue reading “Hubble Bubble”

So we have only been sporadically posting blogs as the Internet at Yellowstone hasn’t been the greatest. Who would have thought it?? The last two days of our Yellowstone adventure has shown us some amazing sites! On the first day we got up early in the freezing weather at around 6am. We drove up intoContinue reading “Lamar Valley”

The highlight for me of the park was seeing the Bison, they are just such an awesome beast.  We didn’t see them in herds of thousands but there were certainly a couple of hundred at a time roaming around.  I know that my partner in crime was more keen for bears and wolves, and IContinue reading “Wildlife in Yellowstone”

The drive from Yellowstone to the west coast of Oregon, certainly reminded us as to how big this country is, there were literally miles and miles of not that much but we are putting a blog in just so that we can remember it.  To be fair the scenery was pretty beautiful, but the driveContinue reading “Journey to the West Coast”

It was incredible arriving on the first night, after we decided to push on and go for a long drive from Boise. As we arrived during our intermittent phone service we were discovering that most of the accomodation was either fully booked or very expensive. Luckily just as the rain started with the fog comingContinue reading “Newport, Oregon “

A relaxing day today spent in our wondrous campsite and strolling along the coast and through the rainforest. We had a beautiful lunch in a cosy restaurant in Yachats, then went for a walk along the beach and rugged coastline. Considering we are here in the height of summer the weather is still pretty briskContinue reading “Yachats “

A day spent cruising down the coastline from Yachats to Coos Bay.  Apart from a couple of trips inland to see some national parks we are going to follow this coastal road all the way down to San Francisco.  The road hugs the coast and the views are just fantastic and the little towns offerContinue reading “Further down the Oregon Coastline”
