Yesterday we took to some giant hills on our way to meet up with Bryan, Maggie and Kirsten for Kirsten's last couple nights with us. We were supossed to camp at Oswald West State Park but they have shut down the campground in the last couple years so we decided to keep on south to Nehalem. The campground is huge here with around 300 sites complemented by a long ultra fine sandy beach. Its quite strange to stand on the edge of the land looking out to only see the horizon.
We went through the tunnel wonderfully located on the side of a really really long hill and luckily when we were in it there were no big trucks to squeeze in beside. I rode close to the side but Bryan told me once we met up with him, that he rode in the center of the lane and made all the vehicles drive behind or pass him. Maybe I'll become more dominent on the road in tight spots too.
We are spending another night here then riding to Tillamook tomorrow which is home to a cheese factory! I'm pretty excited about this part of the trip. We've been enjoying Tillamook cheese all throughout the trip. And while in Seaside I found some free wine tasting coupons in a brochure which we will be sure to make use of.. :)
