Day #76-Grand Ronde to Neskowin, OR 30 miles


We made it to the Oregon coast today.  After we got off the main drag to the coast we rode a wonderful rural road through thick coastal forest to get there. There was 1500’ of climbing today, but now we’re at sea level!

Steve and I had made plans to stay with a woman who allowed camping in her yard.  It’s right above the beach, which looks very similar to the dunes!  Finley went on and camped at a state park further up the road.  This may really be our farewell as it’s doubtful we’ll catch back up to him before he gets to Astoria on Tuesday.

115 miles to Astoria!
