The Oregon Trail

Day 50 - 352 Miles

Heading, more or less, towards Portland and southward, we decided to take the same route south as the STP and it was really great, both from the aspect of having ridden it twice before and from getting to see all the riders enjoying the route and the weather.



We just followed it from Napavine to Vader, but I think I want to ride again next year. We'll see.

The Winlock Rest Stop.





The Winlock Egg... LOL. Everytown has its idiosyncrasy.




We separated temporarily while I visited a friend in Portland and Kip went into the city to check out some bike shops. He decided to go on to our destination on the coast, Newport. When I arrived it was icy cold and a wind was blowing. Who knew winter had come to the Oregon Coast. LOL. I called to find out where exactly Kip had set up camp and got a belated voice mail telling me Kip had returned to the I-5 corridor. Thanx Verizon Voice Mail. I could have saved four hours and 128 miles of pointless riding... I returned to the corridor myself, but we'll have to meet up tomorrow.

Total Miles: 14,532
