Long Beach,Wa-Cannon Beach,OR 48.4 miles
Assisted by DayQuil, NyQuil and general stubbornness, I did the whole course today...a perfect day,warmish, sunny and a tail wind- a bikers dream day. Began it on a 4 mile bike path along the ocean and through a waving prairie of dune grass. Then a quick hike with guide Patty and Rita to Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. Crossed over the Columbia River( roll on!) on the 4 mile narrow , scary, high Astoria Bridge into Oregon. Another bike path through the village of Seaside going past the end of the Lewis&Clark Trail.
Many little drive through espresso shacks all over the northwest-finally stopped at one today. Ended the day with a late lunch of fresh panfried Wilapa Bay oysters in the scenic beach town of Cannon Beach, home of the"haystacks"- giant rock outcroppings just off the beach
Our first margarita night today to celebrate crossing from WA to Or!
