We left Tillamook with some sunshine and a few sprinkles and hauled ourselves along 101 towards Neskawin, which we thought would be our endpoint. It turned out that a clinic in Lincoln City could give me my last Hep B shot (for the Africa trip) so we hauled our poor bodies over an 800 foot rise (2 miles) and then zoomed into Lincoln City. It looks like a beach town with an active Casino, so there is a mixture of genre's here.
We settled in at an Ashley Inn Suites with a very nice room. The GM has done this same ride and was so enthusiastic about our effort that he let us sneak in and use the jacuzzi while the pool is being serviced. We sat for a bit at the Starbucks next door and the guy there rode his bike from Disneyland to Disney World. He invited us to stay with him, give us rides, his wife works for an Irish non-profit doing development in the third world. He was interested to hear of the parish's work in Kenya, so we had a great chat.
Well we have stalled as long as we can at the restaurant, we're going to walk over and look at the beach
