WHAT OTHERS
SAY ABOUT THEIR HIGH
DESERT ADVENTURE
It truly was an
adventure of a lifetime. I had a terrific time. I was
nervous about it at the beginning, considering the
distances and variety of terrain, but ultimately I
was surprised that I could handle it all and really
enjoyed myself.
We all talked about the trip on the way home to all
of us in Greg's vehicle certainly felt like we would
love to come do it again next year. We also talked
ourselves into upgrading the size of our bikes.
I thought that your guys were great. Very helpful,
courteous, patient and friendly.

Hi Greg: Thanks very much. I really did like the
varied terrain. It was amazing to me how we could, in
the course of a couple hours, cover nearly every kind
of terrain, and we really enjoyed some spectacular
sights along the way.
I only had about 8 hours or so of seat time and a
dirt bike safety course. I ride with my young kids,
who are also still learning, so a lot of my riding
time is spent going a mile or so and then stopping to
check on them. I'd never done a long distance
leg.
I feel like I'm a much better rider now and would
enjoy taking a tour again in the future. I've got a
few photos to send your way too. Thanks for a great
adventure!

Hi Greg. I had a great time and I don't think I
would change anything on the trip except when I
crashed (ha ha).
You were great to ride with and to hang around with.
I will try to get Lisa to send you some video of the
ride when she gets a chance and maybe you could put
it on the DVD.
Well I am trying to get some people together to go
on the Wild West tour, so I will be sure to let you
know what happens. Well take care and I will be
talking to you soon.

Hey Greg, The whole trip was great. All the food and
places we stayed were awesome. The first day's
section with the berms through the trees was awesome,
even though hitting one of the trees took out my
electric start for the rest of the trip! The last day
through the mountains and ending in the canyon was by
far the most scenic day and the riding was overall
the more technical of the trip. I liked riding
through all the hills and rocks.
All the food was great and just seeing Oregon on a
dirt bike was an awesome experience, a good change
from the little goat trails and single track riding
through the forests and mountains that I usually
do.
Thanks again for the great time and I look forward
to seeing the DVD and riding with you guys
again.

First off, wow, what an adventure! I had an
exceptional time and I am really glad I had the
opportunity to run this route with my friends and
High Desert Adventures.
I can honestly say that I would have never explored
these parts of Oregon on my own, and now that I have,
I will definitely be back for
more.

My Father in Law (Larry) and I went on a High Desert
Adventure Trip last year in Eastern Oregon. We had
the time of our lives!!
Larry and I hadn't rode motorcycles in probably 10
years when he saw an ad on Craigslist for High Desert
Adventures. He asked me if I wanted to go on a three
day 400 mile back country ride, and we decided to go
for it. We both had a few reservations because we
hadn't rode in so long and didn't even have bikes to
practice on...
We made the drive to Oregon from Reno and joined up
with Greg and about ten other riders for a meet and
greet the night before the ride started. Greg has
that "good people" vibe that makes you feel
comfortable right from the start. We soon learned
that he has a full time profession and does the
Adventure Tours because it's his passion more than
anything! All the guy's that were going on the tour
were great!!
We rented bikes from Greg since at the time we
didn't have our own. The bikes were in great shape
and everyone made us feel comfortable riding at our
own level. Some of the terrain we traveled through
was challenging, but we were able to survive and
enjoy it. The ride had some really great terrain
features, views were outstanding, some neat
historical interest points, and some of the best
single track trails I have seen. We also met some
great people at every stop!
The planning for the trip was excellent! Greg led
the ride and had Ace as a chase rider. Both very
experienced and fun to ride with! Every stop was well
coordinated, the food was outstanding, and the bars
were great! We had a blast!!
In closing, I would say that we had such a good time
on our trip that we both bought dual sports when we
got back to Reno. We've been riding all over around
Reno, Lake Almanore, Moon Rocks, Dog Valley, etc...
and we are really looking forward to going on another
trip with Greg and his crew. Larry and I decided that
we needed to do at least one High Desert Adventure
trip each year... I can't think of a better way to
see some beautiful back country and make some new
friends!

Where do I start, beautiful Oregon High Desert
scenery, great weather, well rounded choice in riding
terrain for all levels of experience and good
food.
This was the best man vacation for the modern day,
western steel steeded cowboy. The down time with the
flat tires, gave me a chance to reflect on the
scenery and life, the hippie in me!
Thanks for the fun time, I had a blast. I have been
reading the ride report on Adv.
Rider.

James and I both had the time of our lives. It was a
great adventure!
As we got closer to the staging area on the last day
I was feeling sad it was over. Great time, great
people. I hope you will have us again.
I can't thank Ace enough for the bike. I would like
to do something for him maybe a gift certificate to
the best restaurant in Bend. Your input would help.
He is truly a great human being.
