Adam Metzler shows he's stoked on summer.
The warmer weather has finally arrived and along with it the departure of the rain. There are so many activities and hobbies that can finally be brought back into swing. Here are a few of my favorite activites to do in spring and summer, and if you're looking for something new, try one of mine.
One of the best ways to chill out and relax is to spend a day and go fishing, preferably with family or friends. Fishing offers you relaxing no pressure activity that allows for you to get back to our basic roots of survival and enjoy it. But of course fishing can turn into a competiton very easily so keep it fun. I also make bets for whoever catches the first fish, the biggest fish, and the most.
For the more adventurous thrill seeker I recommend trying dirtbike riding. Oregon has an abundance of state parks and private facilities that allow for numerous spots to ride, each very different from each other. For a list of Oregon OHV riding areas click here. Dirtbiking offers a challenging activity that can be very rewarding and is great for the family, I mean what kid doesn't want to ride a motorcycle?
A low key and low impact activity, try going to one of the many coastal towns that line the Oregon Coast. Many of these places like Newport offer tourists activities like Ripley's Believe it or Not museum, the sea lion caves, or one of their great restaurants that offer a great seafood selection.
My final and most favorite summer activity is to combine all three of the above options. Areas like the town of Warrenton just below Astoria offers a free riding and camping area, it is also right on the water so when you're done with riding you may go fishing then at night head to one of the nearby towns and grab a good dinner. Just make sure you do it with enjoyable company. Have fun.
