ACrop Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I am in Oregon now until Tuesday in the Rockaway beach area...anyone else out here on the coast flying quads? I am having plenty of fun solo, but if anyone wants to fly I would enjoy making new friends.[emoji3] Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Unless schedules change, several should be in that area on Saturday. Exactly where I'm not sure, but I think they go just north a bit from the turn around (main beach), to avoid the crowds. I'll see if I can get clearer info and get you all together. Slightly on the north end of town - look for Manhattan Beach State Park. People should be there around noon til ?? Looks to be anywhere from 4-6 people coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACrop Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Awesome!!! Better than I could have hoped for...and Soooo close too. Just a clarification question...do y'all start at noon or end at noon? Back east they start early - like 8 so they can get get parking. Guessing that is not an issue here.[emoji6]Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrinor Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Good deal, most of us will arrive around noon, as most of us have about a 2 1/2 hour drive. Parking is not an issue at all. depending on the tide the beach is a little tight for awhile. CYA Sat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrinor Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 ACrop, Thanks for the fun fly, good wind, sun and plenty of beach made for a great day. We hope it worked out that your family got to see some whales, and fireworks. It was nice meeting you and we hope you had safe travels back home.

ACrop Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Thanks to y'all for including me. I had a great time, made a highlight in a great trip. Guess my kites though it was enough for the day though...they and the wind refused to cooperate for a night fly for my kids. Got only a wet sand covered kite for my efforts. The one time that the stars were out there was no wind.[emoji13]We did see whales at Depoe bay on Monday. We had barely parked the car before I saw a whale spouting. We watched them for hours in the bay. We also enjoyed the Estacada Timber fest on the 4th near Portland. We came home with a 2'round slice of log from that one...great fun hauling in the airport. A conversation starter for sure. It was a great trip for all. Thanks Oregon and friends. We will be back...Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
