I'm a big fan of Oregon. Day 9 started with a beautiful ride along the coast north of Newport, a real cool coastal city. A few miles in we hit Devil's Punch Bowl state park. There are a whole lot of Devil-named places on the Oregon coast. A lot.
Below is a picture of the famous devil's punch bowl.
Hey look at us here enjoying the scenery.
We also had the pleasure of riding on the old highway 101, another "scenic alternate". It was a long stretch that climbed up through a national forest (don't remember which one) and joins back up with the new 101.
It was a great day to be a bicycle tourist. After around 69 miles we pulled into my favorite campsite so far. Mike was real excited about it too.
The Cape Lookout campground had a particularly awesome hiker/biker campsite. There were about 8 private sites amongst the trees and brush just a hop away from a beautiful shore. Not bad at all.
