A day of vast contrasts. The morning was beautiful, sunny with some clouds. As promised, I took Tina and Tony to the beach early to play before we headed off to Bend. Packed and went to breakfast at Cafe Stephanie (again) and headed east.
The skies turned ominous soon after we left Newport and the rain fell off and on all day. The ride through the Willamette National Forest was magical. The road was full of twist and turns and no traffic. We must have ridden 20 miles without seeing a single other vehicle. Dancing with the turns, smells of nature and pine, one with the road. Both Fer and I had the same experience and we talked about it at the next stop.
Some practical hassles- the kids rain suits are shredded, so that means we can't have any more rain. Rainex works, but only when we apply it. Fer and my rain suits work, but only when we wear them. Dinner was pizza and a movie in the room, down day tomorrow, maybe fishing and bowling- yipee!
