Disappointment State Park. We wanted to come here because of the cool
name and it did not disappoint. The route was great today and we
finished earlier than usual.
Once we got into town, we had a choice of 2 ways to get into the state
park. Per the advice of the grocery store clerk, we could go the
"flat way, with one hill" or the hilly way. Eric was convinced that
the hilly way was shorter. After we rode up at least 7 or 8 steep
kickers (all in the granny) we realized that if someone who drives a
car thinks a road is hilly, IT IS.
We haven't been able to find camp gas for days so we had dinner out at
an awesome restaurant right on the harbor in Ilwaco. Eric and I, and
even Pammi Sue had delicious cocktails. One blackberry and one
watermelon, so good.
Tomorrow we'll begin to head back to Portland to rest for a couple
days and meet up with Nick and Trish. Henry Harden is still on
vacation and loving every minute. I hear he is learning how to not
chase cats. We'll see how much he retains. I can't wait to see my cat
girls! I think we go about 60-65 miles tomorrow, camp one more night
and get to PDX Friday morning.
P.S. If you are wondering why I gained weight while riding 7 hours a
day, it's because I've been eating a pint of ice cream a day. And it's
been damn good.
