This evening I went out with Ashley to look at the flood waters one more time. We drove a car this time.
A vortex at the entrance to a culvert.
It was a rather large vortex.
Motorcycle Dinner Ride to Newport with Ashley
Yesterday evening Ashley and I rode out to Newport for dinner. Here you can see a meeting of the metric motorcycles.
After having dinner at Rogue Public House, we stopped for a photo near the old Newport lighthouse. The weather on the coast was ideal for riding but inland it was rather hot.
For a Ninja 250, that little bike can really haul.
The sun was about to be extinguished in the Pacific Ocean as we left Newport.
One of the NOAA research vessels was leaving the protection of the harbor and jetty. It is visible just behind the couple by the railing. Having NOAA relocate fleet operations to Newport has been a huge boost to the local economy and is a real source of pride for the town.
The Yaquina Bay Bridge behind some trees.
One last view before we headed back to Corvallis.
Engineering Biker Gang
Today I went on a ride with several engineering friends. We did the Alsea Falls loop where we found car after car to slow our progress. Even with the less than fast roads, it was still quite a bit of fun. In Belfountain we stopped for a photo of our Engineering Biker Gang.
