Haha...I travel to Portland for work a lot so I know about the rain. Is the coast the same way as far as seasons go. I know it is obviously more unpredictable but want to know when is a good time to plan a trip over there but not during any of the big events. I would prefer to go when there are less people around......I am not a big fan of crowds....Its Oregon - plan on probable overcast, wind, cold, possible rain or rare snow. And sunshine, blue sky, great riding. In changes around here by the hour and by the mile. Its always good riding though, but you may have to wait an hour.
September is the BEST month for the dunes. We take our annual two week vacation down there in Sept righ tafter the kids go back to school. No crowds and smooth sand.Haha...I travel to Portland for work a lot so I know about the rain. Is the coast the same way as far as seasons go.

oh I wish brother, I wish!! while on a tour of the NW last july we stopped after getting our max in Portland at ocean dunes??koa there. not sure the name of the place, wow. loved the weather and rides on the beach. wish I could head back up there now. as to Portland, SUCKS!!!!!!! traffic at 2 pm was terrible, worse than LA....lol
is that coos bay where im talking about???
They will come pump your tanks for $10Riley Ranch, do they have a dump station at least?
Would be nice to meet you.Wifey said we could go but won't leave until Friday. We will watch the weather and come if it is going to be somewhat dry.
Likewise!
So which location do you recommend for a dune rookie and his family. Coos bay, Winchester Bay, etc….I have been to some smaller dunes around were I live and down to little Sahara in Utah (on quads) but nowhere major with the Maverick yet.coos bay is my favorite place in oregon to ride,we have been riding there since 1998 and i still don't get tired of it. we stay at spinreel for a week every july.it gets very windy in the open dunes that time of year but there are so many trails to ride it doesn't really matter.
