We were excited to move into a new state today. Started the day taking the ferry across the Columbia River. We met the nicest couple while on the ferry. They had a summer home here and showed us pics of the 20 lb. salmon he caught off his deck! Earlier we made fast friends with a chunky black cat while waiting to get on. Reminded us of our pups and cats back home. We are so lucky that we can be gone this long and know everything back home is great.
Lots of ups and downs today. We just barely got our raingear on before getting rained on and off for much of the day. Some long climbs up but the long downhills were appreciated ! Had lunch in Knappa Junction and continued westward. We stopped to chat with an Oregon State Trooper who was parked on the side of the road and gave us a map of the state. Between the ferry ride and this cop, we got a great first impression of this state!
Rolled into Astoria....got a hotel room for the night. Have to pick up Donnie's new cycling shoes tomorrow morning that he ordered from REI.
congrats guys
