Oregon Coast Bike Route

Monday Sept 13 2022 Aga

in we woke up to blue skies. Went back to the Sea Hag for breakfast. It was hard to leave Dep ot Bay.It is a special place. This morning the sea was not as wild. We stopped for a while by the sea wall, but did not spot any whales. We rode for a while with heavy traffic butsoon were able to take an alternate route where we stopped and hiked to whale cove. Sometimes whales hang out there, but not today. This route took us to Cape Foulweather,so named by Captain cook. To the south we could see Otter Rock and Devils punch bowl an intriging basalt formation with facinating wave action. Too soon we were back on 101 with fast and loud cars zipping by us. We preseverd and made into Newprt on the signed bike routeand were able to stop for ice cream. We left Newport and crossed the Yaquina River on a long, long bridge were some one screamed "walk your bike". Mac pushed the button and we went for it. There was a lot of loud heavy traffic and after a while we fled into Lost Creek State park for a break. Traffic was heavy and loud all the way to Waldport were we spend the night. we are now 175 miles into the trip. Its been great so far Tomorrow to Florence and a lay over day. g les
