I am now back in Kentucky but I wanted to complete the blog on the Oregon trip.
After unintentionally getting a day ahead of schedule and reaching the coast so quickly, I decided to stay along the coast and not head back to Portland. I was a bit concerned with my planned trip along Wilson River Highway back to Portland mainly because of the elevation and lack of services along the way. I decided to stay in Seaside a couple of days and then made a short trip down to Cannon Beach.
I hope to make it back out to Oregon soon as I would like to cycle to rest of the Oregon coast. I learned a lot on this trip with–primarily not to carry so much weight–both on the bike and on myself (meaning that I need to drop a few pounds).
My brother-in-law picked me up last Wednesday and I got to spend a few days in the Seattle area–and caught a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game while I was there. I had a steady diet of shellfish the entire time and it was great–I don’t get an opportunity to have it much unless I’m on the east or west coast.
My next travel-related task is completing the planning for the Armenia and Georgia trip that will happen in October. Here are several pics from my last days in Oregon and Washington:
