Trans America Trail - Idaho to Oregon - Part 8 - Triumphant Arrival at Port Orford, Oregon
Loaded up my 2018 KTM 500 EXCF and Billy Oliver's 890 KTM Adventure in the back of my pickup and headed to Boise City OK to ride the Western half of the Trans America Trail - our destination, Port Orford, Oregon. My father in law (Jerry Fleming) was interested in tagging along on the trip so he was designated as our "support truck" driver. We started the trip (Western half) at the Great Plains Bunkhouse near Boise City OK. Earlier this year we rode from Nags Head NC to the TAT Stop in Arkansas before heading back to Southeast Texas.
In Part 8, we cross Idaho into Oregon......our goal is the Pacific Ocean at Port Orford Oregon.....awesome adventure....

    Always enjoy every TAT ride report---------yours was exceptional with great video work and commentary. I rode it back when there were no track logs or routes to use------------no go pro's------was one of the first to ride the thing using what was available at the time (roll chart). At the time I felt like hardly nobody had even heard of it, let alone rode it. Then it started in Jellico TN and ended in Port Orford-----------------and I'm pretty sure was 85% different than what you guys rode. So much has changed over the years. We rode it in 2006. We rode a Husqvarna TE610 and a Honda XR650R (kickstart model). Being a lifelong friend and riding buddy of Sam Correro's-------I've watched him change the route so many times. Thanks for your story. bigdogadventures.com

    KC260 is a great road. I grew up hunting not far from there and that used to be our morning thing. Get breakfast in Junction, stop at Simon Bros and pick up some corn, sodas, or whatever, and then go drive KC260. I've yet to take it on a motorcycle, but water crossing 4 and 5 are sketchy in a truck too when it gets slick.
