Day 16

Today we rode 48 miles from Devils Lake to Beachside State Park. We
decided to take a "short cut" off the 101 and ended up climbing 8 or 9
hills with a 16-20% grade. It was shocking and maybe not the best way
to start the day.
But then the ride got awesome. It was still hilly but the best views
so far. This is a picture from the climb up the scenic route to Cape
Foulweather. We saw a grey whale right off the coast and sea lions.
It was the best road of the trip.
We stopped for lunch in Newport and said bye to Pam and Al. They are
taking the bus back to Portland tomorrow to fly home. It was sad to
say goodbye, we had so much fun with them and the time went by so fast.
The rode about 20 more miles to the campground which is right on the
beach.
I think we'll ride tomorrow and take a rest day somewhere good on
Friday.
