Day 6 & 7

    No wi-fi yesterday. Spent the night at Twin Harbors, a janky little ghost town with great seafood. I've been biking with the new partner that I mentioned in earlier posts, Oren. We are moving at a steady pace going around 40-50 miles a day.

    One thing that has really made me happy about this trip are all the kind and generous people we've met on the way. My faith for humanity has jumped up a couple of levels after all the nice folk I've encountered.

   Tonight I'm treating myself by staying in a hotel hostel. A hostel is basically a hotel with minimal amenities meant for travelers. I am in a four bed room with Oren and it is possible for others to share the room. But the most important thing is that there is a bed with a pillow. Not having to set up and pack up my tent, tarp, and sleeping bag is a relief.

Here are some pictures of the past two days. Enjoy!

Waking up in a damp tent is inevitable. Here I am drying all my gear in the morning sun.

The shore has frequently been showing its beauty.

The super nice owner gave us a chocolate for the road.

Arrival at Bay Center, WA

What do you do with all these oyster shells? You climb it and take a super pose.

Spent the night at an Ivy-League campsite.

May 31, 2014. First time changing a flat tire. Somewhere on the border of Washington.

Rocket Diner? Breakfast (lunch) for Champions.

Left the good ol' state of Washington and moving on to Oregon.
 

Astoria-Meglar Bridge. 4.1 mile transition period between Washington and Oregon. (They were repainting it)

It may not look like much, but it's heaven being indoors.

It's been too damn long since I've felt a mattress and a pillow under me. 

Michael, the awesome host!
