Our day started a little late. Neither one of us wanted to get out of bed for the last time. Once up we carried hung all the gear on the bikes and hit the road. It was 11 degrees. 2 close calls with logging trucks in the first 5 miles was no way to start. One truck buzzed me so close that Lisa said she couldn't see daylight between him and my panniers. As we got further down the coast the traffic thinned out and our nerves settled.
I was a naughty boy and got pulled over by a highway patrol for riding on the wrong side of the road. Oops.
The day got warmer in the arvo. We had our first tunnel. Not as scary as the ones we did in Italy.
Arrived safe and sound at nahalem bay campground. We had a cold dinner because we can't find gas for our stove. We are laying in bed because it's the only way we can keep warm. Poor Lisa is struggling a bit with the cold. It should get better as we go south. All in all a great start to the trip.
