How we got this far;
We left Vancouver, BC Thursday (5th April) night, and got just shy of Olympia in Washington, camped out, and hit the minty high road on Friday morning which took us down to Cannon Beach. One of the local surf shop guys pointed us up to Indian Point, which is actually Bells Beach in Point Break, it's totally recognizable from the movie. So yeah, my second time surfing was in Bells Beach, yeah baby! Calling it surfing is a stretch though, I just got beat up by the sea. Ross and Gee got on pretty well though.
That night we camped in some random town, and the next morning we headed south along the cost to Florence where we rented some Polaris Trail Blazer ATVs. Butty little 250cc automatics, we were told they wouldn't be powerful enough to jump, but we got some sweet air!
When we got done at the Dunes we darted inland to the I-5 and south as far as
Ashland.Not let me tell ya, Ashland is good people. We rocked into Ashland at around 7pm and stopped at Great American Pizza for some food and hydration. We ended up with a lot of beer in us, a place to stay and some good new friends. The Sunday after one of the guys (Abe) was good enough to hook us up with shuttles on one of the local mountains, even though he doesn't ride. There is a race down there in May, but it conflicts with the Rat Race on the Sunshine Coast, so we won't make it down.
That's it for now. More updates later....
