Oregon coast bike route
Wednesday september 15 2021
Last night Mac wrote the blog and he did not mention some of the interesting sites we passed and stopped at.
We left waldport and right away there was a small hill to climb from there we got wiews of the beautiful beaches below us. Passed through Yachats and crossed the Yachats river. Elks come down to the meadows early morning and late night.We did not see any. we stopped at Devils churn where basalt forms the shore and is penetrated by a split in the rock that narrows to a few feet before finally disappearing into the cliff We passed by Cape Perpetua, but did not ride the scenic loop where we would have had to climb 600, From the view point we could look down to the ocean where there were many blow holes and one had a spetecular view down to the coast.
After leaving this view point we started climbing for a while to another view point, then a bit of down hill, sometimes you have to take the lane, when there is no shoulder it was easy going until we climbed up to the Tourist attraction Sealion Caves, another downhill with no shoulder a big Motor home had to stay behind me.We stopped at Heceta Lighthouse which was buit in 1894 and flashes every10 seconds we stopped for a little while on the beach and had a snack.From there it seemed a long boring ride to Florenc. The Motel looked pretty funky and I was wondering, but it is nice inside with friendy people and a couple of
Parrots.
They even did our Laundry,
We had Fish taccos and clam chowder for dinner and BJ ice cream for dessert.
ANother great day and ride.
TOmorrow on to NOrt BEnd8
