Castle Rock, Washington

Day 4 = 45.9 miles
Total = 162.3 miles

Turns out our sweet RV park we stayed at last night was right next to a railroad crossing where they have to whistle at the crossing......AT 5am!!!!!  We still slept well and were resdy to start the day.  Had a couple of pretty steep hills today.... also some long climbs. I would loved to say I motored right up all of them, but there were a couple I just had to walk up.  

We ran into another touring couple going north starting from San Francisco (Christine and Ian).  They were on a tandem and were really efficiently loaded up for the trek.  We wished them well and off we went again. After they left we realized we should have warned them about the really nasty steep hill we had just come down.  It was exhilarating downhill - I got to 39 mph!  It was completely unrideable going up.

We finished up the day in another sweet RV park just north of Castle Rock.   Let's hope there aren't trains......


Mt. St. Helens - what is left of it


Just beautiful countryside
