Hi my name is Lance, and this is my friend Armstrong

After our overnight in Seaside we had several huge days to make up for our lost time (who's rushing though?). Day 4 we traveled from Seaside to Cape Lookout State Park (after several run-ins with hail) where we camped maybe 100 yards from the beach. A few miles before Cape Lookout we stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory for some samples which turned into a double dip, which turned into our knees hitting our stomachs when we got on the bikes again. Setup camp at the Cape just before another hail storm. Didn't get a chance to grab any food beforehand so we had oatmeal for dinner.

Day 5 we began with a 1.5 mile climb and then made it to Beverly Beach after deciding around 5:30 that we could make the next campground around 20 miles down the road. Stopped for lunch at The Pelican Pub and Brewery in Pacific City. Awesome seastacks (seen The Goonies?). Took the bike route off of main 101 onto old hwy. 101 which ran through Suislaw National Forest (old growth douglas fir forest!), and some old oregon cattle farms. Got to our camp just at dark. Bomber dinner with hot snausages w/ pepps and onion.

Day 6 has been a lazy one. Rode into Newport to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and that's been bout it. Sea otters are rad. Stopped at a Quickie Mart type place (not owned by an Arab?) to check in with ya'll. Planning to make it to Jesse Honeyman State Park for camp or fall short at Washburn State Park. Many thanks to Oregon for setting up these cyclist campsites ($4/person!). Tunnel pass today at Heceda Head, stop at Sea Lion Caves, and maybe see the freed Willy himself.
