RE: First Oregon Trip
i grew up pumping my own fuel, and i prefer to do it, no matter what the weather.
I pump diesel for the truck, and there has never been one attendant that even attempted to pump fuel into my Harley.
but the wifes tahoe is fueled by the employee. can't do anything bout that one.
RE: First Oregon Trip
So in oregon we can't pump our own fuel at stations is what I've read??
And it costs about $0.50 less a gallon
in Reedsport yesterday:
Gas $3.65
Diesel $3.89

You can't pump your own gas, however, if you are filling motorcycles and such, the attendant will let do it yourself.
Also, you CAN pump your own diesel.
RE: Open vs closed garage area
It's just us two. We don't entertain or have others stay with us. At most I can imagine one other couple - maybe. So 99% of the time it will be us two knocking around in the trailer.What I do want is the ability to have seating available without having to move or unload the bike. Also being a track bike maintenance and modification between sessions happens. Sometimes on short notice and in all weather.For the garage units we do like the separate outside entry door and bathroom between the main area and garage. All the better to keep debris out of the living space.
Sounds to me like you have made a decision. And with your situation, I would have a garage too.
RE: Oregon dunes
I'm looking for campgrounds with full hook ups and dune access (trailering to the riding is not an option). The family is planning a reunion in southern Oregon and my crew will be the only one that rides, so a spot that is close to lots of other activities would maybe convince them to have it there.
r1Mk, howdy, glad to hear you will be coming out this way to enjoy our dunes. I have been riding this area since '99 and lived here for the past few years as well.
there are a few spots that have what you are lookin for, it just depends on what kind of dunes you are wanting to experience.
Florence has Honeymoon Campground - which has full hook ups and access to the Florence dunes, not my fav sand to ride, but there is a medium riding area, and you can ride the beach. A mix of trails and open sand dunes as well.
Winchester Bay/Reedsport - There are a few campgrounds with full hookups, both privately owned and state/federal. One of the most popular places on the Oregon coast with the tallest of the dunes located here. Windy Cove A & B campground, as well as Discover Point Campground have dune access.
Coos Bay/Spinreel - This is the largest of the riding areas, there is more sand to ride, more of a trail riding system, you can ride the beach, but does not have the tall high dunes. The KOA has full hook ups (a bit spendy) in my opinion, and also Coos County has recently opened Riley Ranch Campground with full access and HUGE camp sites. I love riley ranch.
Hit me up for more info, or Pm me and we can maybe chat via phone if you have more questions. I can also get you a picture of campspots if needed.
RE: Oregon dunes
If you would like to get away from the deafening, rowdy, drunken, public campground trash, this is your spot.
wow, way to profile your fellow riders and supporters of the sport. Please don't label all ATV'ers that way.
RE: NorthWest members
hello from the coast.....middle of oregon dunes actually. Reedsport/Winchester Bay.
Had lots of rain and wind last night, no major damages, my fence gate took a beating and bent the latches, but no major damage in the area.
Lots of water out on the dunes, but all is well.
RE: Who is spending Thanksgiving at the Oregon dunes?
Bedlam ~ Hauser/Coos Bay area has a number of camping spots, some with hook ups, some without.
Spinreel Campground, Hauser (boxcar) are both ODNRA campgrounds, then there is the Myrtle Wood factory, and another private campground called the oregon dunes raceway park & there is Riley Ranch (which I recommend the most) and there is the Oregon Dunes KOA.
Winchester Bay has a good numer as well, all with dune access, Windy Cove A & B, Discovery Point (a private owned campground) w/ full hook-ups (i think this is the one your are mentioning), and also now the county has opened Half Moon Bay (no hook ups).
RE: Who is spending Thanksgiving at the Oregon dunes?
Bedlam, if you are starting to compare camp areas and riding areas, I would choose a spot in Riley Ranch. Full power/water, and access to all the coos bay dunes!
RE: Who is spending Thanksgiving at the Oregon dunes?
We live in Reedsport and are heading to see family for the holiday weekend in Brookings.
May I suggest a MUCH better pizza? Out on Hwy 38 in old town Reedsport is a place called C & D's Pizza. Ten times better pizza, and much nicer owners.
