Erica's Highway to Hell: Two months on the Road

EDIT: Shipping address taken care of!

So cards have been canceled/re-ordered, and I will be up and running by tomorrow. Thank you EVERYONE that has allowed me to continue my trip. I will have to be in Yreka, CA Monday morning to stop by the DMV to replace my license, so I'll be touring Oregon for the next few days. I am having A&S ship me something this weekend, does anybody have an address I can use? I'll most likely be in Portland tomorrow, then Eugene, then Grants Pass/Medford. Thanks again.

You can use mine, I'm in Eugene ..... And glad yer o.k. I just read through your thread here after seeing the Spot thread in the PNW Forum.

I'll PM you in a moment.

G.

I'm in Redding, south of Yreka on 5 about 1.5 hrs. If you're heading down this way you can ship here then I'll show you the best route out to the 101. That would be Hwy 36. From there you can hit the Lost Coast.

Let me know.

Chris

Erica, I have friends in Portland and relatives in Lincoln City if you need a place to stay.

Great RR, glad things turned out OK... keep on going!

Hello Erika:
Great report and Glad everyone is here to help.
On occasions where I find myself traveling and in need of parts, tools or whatever. If I am on the US, I usually go to and choose any UPS store (that is near where I am staying) and use their address and have my parts delivered there. Is the easiest by far and I can always rely on them. Just make sure you Write the following:
UPS Customer Service/Will Call, Or UPS Store
Your Name,
Address (Their Address)
City, State, zip code.
The package will stay at that location when It arrives and You just have to
ask for It. (and Show your ID,provided you have one)


Again Great report and enjoy....
Anything you may need, just ask... You are not alone

bst regards Louis/Hludwit

Wow, what a thread. Three things:


I wish I would have seen this when it was happening, as I'm not far away and wasn't doing anything.

I was sure glad to hear it wasn't anything too serious, and Erica is OK.

And, the response from this site, and Spot, is amazing. I've got to get one of those things.

Glad you are up and running again.... and ok...

I met Erica a couple months ago while doing reshoots on a movie and she really is a wonderfull soul and full of adventure. she was a little nervous about her trip so I sent her a note...

It's Scott from CD2

You will have a blast don't sweat the naysayers, no pun intended. Just remember you ride with your ADV friends and you will want for nothing as long as you ask for it!!
If you need any advice I will do my best to help, but there are many on here that have much more experience than I

So I had no idea that she would test it out like she did.... (really Erica???)
Thanks to all of you who took care of her in her time of need

I have seen ADVers get alot of people out of alot of jams and it did not matter who they were or how good they looked, what mattered was that they were ADV riders or friends of ADV riders!!!

I feel better about the world knowing that all you FFs have my back..

Erica you ROCK!!!

Alright, I'm buying a bikini.

Seriously, Erica, I'm glad you are having a great time.

Glad to hear this turned out as well as it did - could have been a lot worse.

Erica, hope rest of the trip is as photogenic but with a little less ADVersity in the ADVenture!

+1 on the comments re: splitting up money, credit, IDs and spare key. Learned the wallet one the hard way.... although I was lucky enough to find it after 45 minutes of looking.

What a great testament to the fraternity here! Not to mention a fantastic RR so far. Keep it up Erica, have a great trip the rest of the way. I'll be following along with everyone else.

I think she's probably already worked this out... but.. I have an electronic fax that routes faxes directly to my email as PDF files.. If Erica still needs this license copy, she can have it faxed to me and I can forward to any email address.. All she'll need is adobe reader and a printer... Heck, maybe even a PDF or JPG copy on her cell phone would be enough..

Please don't jump the gun and try to arrange this unless the request comes from Erica.. Privacy, etc...

Just an option if it's still needed.

Safe travels.

If you're heading to the PNW put up a shout in the PNW regionals lotsa good FF's there..Hit PlanB on thursday night.

have a great ride

Amazing. I think Chi town pretty well hit the nail on the head with his little summation. Not much more you can say. Good luck! Glad I happened on to your ride report. Definitely subscribing to the rest of it.

Wow Erica! You're one brave chick.

You've fallen off your bike in some really beautiful places

keep it up. (The ride, the report and the bike )

peet

Erica - thx for the update on "how it all happened"

Hopefully a good samaritan picks up your wallet and tries to return it somehow....it's happened before

I think it's time I put some stickers on:
