It was a rainy 4th of July. We pack our wet tents and make the short ride to Astoria over a perilous bridge across Young’s Bay. Astoria is a seaport on the Columbia River. A huge cargo ship moved up the river as we rode along side it. We later found out that many ships here are loaded with Midwest grain bound for China!
After a stop at a downtown coffee shop we fortunately got into our motel, the Columbia Inn, early. Then we took our bikes to be shipped at Bikes and Beyond, a local bike shop. Steve’s shipping his belongings as well. I’m checking my belongings. It’s amazing how few belongings I have. It’s true. Not to wax too philosophical but we, most of us, have much more than we really need.
Glad you finished your journey! Not very many can do what you did. Proud of you two!
