@Nanmoo. The longest hill in the world broke my truck -blew a plenum hose and emptied my radiator some of it into my air intake. I made it into GB riding in style with the tow truck driver. Saw PR before the drama though. Riding the way north from Brookings ... Very windy gusts. To borrow a phrase from WD. I peed a little. Made it to the beach where there was one kiter (this was the southern access. Right at the river) Truck fixed in 2 hrs. Staying at Indian Rv for the night (18$)
I may attempt that hill tomorrow or just explore GB until my nerves return.

I was going to go back down to Oregon, but then I realized it was shark week. Good luck. I guess that's why WDoc is hitting the lake.

4J - Unfortunately Coco passed away. He had a run-in with some sort of wild animal that gave him a good shot to the head and he had to be put down. But hey, gotta say that he died doing what he loved (chasing things that can run!) We loved the little guy and he'll be missed for sure.

Lets keep in touch about Oregon. I'll probably follow the wind wherever it happens to be!

Can't believe the long awaited summer in Oregon is already done for me :cry: I may need to go again during....shark month...when's shark week anyway, Nanmoo? Nobody told me and I didn't see any.....I did pass up a killer (haha) day at Neptunes cuz I was without a sailing buddy :roll: the warden there has me concerned always

Thanks for the feedback. It helps me a lot in choosing shots. After over a year of following your sport, I just learned the importance of waves over wind. You are primarily surfers with power.( It only took a 2400km roadie to find out-
:D )
--> More Force4 I will PM U.
