We made it to Oregon! Another rainy day. Not quite as wet as yesterday, but pretty consistent rain all the time we were riding. Then it cleared and we had beautiful clear skies in the afternoon again. Our campsite for tonight is gigantic. I’m told it is the largest campsite west of the Mississippi. I can believe it. It is a small city by itself. A well maintained and pleasant place, but it lacks the charm of the smaller sites we’ve had the past couple of nights.

The ride today was mostly gentle rolling hills along the coast of Washington. Different scenery than I am used to. Lots of sloughs and mud flats. I suppose that is why oysters are such a big business around here.

The most eventful part of the ride was the bridge across the Columbia River. Over 6 kilometers long with no shoulders. Or at least that was what we were told. As it turns out it had a decent enough shoulder on the south-bound side, and the drivers were quite courteous. It wouldn’t kill them to send a street sweeper across everyonce in a while though. Lots of hasards that could have been a problem if hit wrong.

On the south end of the bridge is the historic town of Astoria Oregon. Several people
spent some time seeing the sights of Astoria before making there way to the campground.

All in all another good day of riding.
