2013 Tour Planning
2013 Tour Planning
Open for Business
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
I’ve been more than a little remiss updating the site for 2013. In short, I am open for business. I will be available for both weekday and weekend shuttles. Rates are unchanged from last year. Let’s hope the same or better can be said for gasoline come July & August.
A couple weeks ago, fellow Riv traveller and all around great guy Smitty organized a tour in Eastern Oregon. Lucky. I’ve wanted to do a ride out there for longer than I care to admit. I had given notice to my employer that my last day was going to be on April 30th. With a couple things to get properly finished off before the end of the month, taking a week to join Smitty and crew just wasn’t feasible. Ah, next year... (Speaking of employment, the start-up I co-founded is now a full-time gig. We’re doing K-8 educational apps. Check us out.)
I’m not sure I can recommend Eastern Oregon for a July or August tour, I’ve never been there that time of year and suspect it’s really hot. If those months are your only options for a vacation, the coast might be a better choice -- though they say it’s a dry heat -- I don’t know. However, if you want a great shoulder month suggestion, Eastern Oregon would be my first choice.
