Day 10 was kind of a bummer. But it did force us to take a well deserved rest. Our plan to ride about 90 miles into Portland was given a rain check. The rain came out of nowhere around 10 the night before. We biked 10 miles into Tillamook in rainy conditions, ourselves and our gear soaking wet. After spending some time in our hobo camp in front of Safeway, we gave in and got a motel for the night.
But its alright because we toured the Tillamook cheese factory and ate cheese and ice cream. Those big yellow things are hunks of cheese.
We also checked out the Pelican pub and Brewery. Portland (and all the food were going to eat there) can wait just one more day.
Hey Mikes.... Great job with the posts, pictures (some real nice Pics) , and commentary.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and imbed your blog in My strava. Its hard to imagine Rain and cheese at the same time in Oregon, Crazy :-)
