Day 17

Today we took a mini rest day, 37 miles from Beachside State Park to
Jessie Honeyman State Park. We decided to stop and take advantage of
the awesome lake and Oregon sand dunes. Nik and Nick hiked to the top
of the dunes and sprinted down into the lake (nick did a face plant
into the sand halfway down) but the water was perfect.

I have to say, the riding for the past few days has made me proud to
live in Oregon. It has been absolutely insanely beautiful. I love the
coast. This is a picture of the sweet descent into the mist off the
road. Today, we saw sea lions at Strawberry Hill and carnivorous
plants at the
Darlingtonia Botanical Gardens.

We're thinking of trying to get to Bandon in the next few days for the
Cranberry Festival.
