jkross Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Calling fellow Oregonians: Just looking to see if anyone's been out to Winchester Bay or Florence recently. I'm headed there Sunday and need to know if either is any better than the other. I know there's been an ass load of weather pounding the dunes...high winds and whatnot...Just need to know which is better right now...or if they're both torn to hell. Thanks in advance.

Snopczynski Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Probably cold and tons of water (ponds and lakes) out in the dunes. I wont go between Middle of November to about the 3rd week in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're staying in the cabins, and hopefully there will be minimal ponds! lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkross Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well, we went and it was amazing. Sunny and nearly 60! We rode in t-shirts and aside from my nephew's Blaster blowing up, we had a great time. The sand was VERY heavy on all North slopes, which made the hill climbs much more challenging. There was water running down the three main trails to the beach, and all the lowlands were pretty wet, but not as bad as I suspected. We always camp in H-Loop that last week in April, every year. We'll be there the 23rd through the 27th this year. We'll be in 392, 385, 388 and 381. There will be beer. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 yeah well you can look up at the sky, see its nice and go riding. I live in the seattle area, I cant just hope its gonna be sunny, drive 7 hours and then get dumped on with rain and wind. I have even been snowed on out there in the winter. We are going to Sandlake April 18-20th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Heading to Winchester Bay next week. We will be there from the 27th to the 30th at Discovery Point. Hopefully I can figure what is wrong with the shee by then. Time is running short, and I dont want to spend the whole trip working on a bike. Pray for good weather, cause I know the beer will be cold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
