I think we’ve settled on spending the next two days at Fort Stevens State Park about 10 miles from Astoria. We’ll ride into Astoria Thursday morning and take our bikes to the bike shop. They’ll box the bikes and ship them to our local shop in Valparaiso.
Finley made it to Astoria today. He says there’s no way to dip our tires in the Pacific at the end. We may have to stage it!
We’re in a private campground tonight, Wright's for Camping. I bought some duck tape today and I’m going to attack my leaky air mattress with it.

Personally, I think dipping your tires anywhere along the coast will count. It does not have to be Astoria. You two have made it.
I ran up the beach from the Fort Stevens campground to the mouth of the Columbia. Seems to me that is where the tires should be dipped! Astoria is inland.
Dip 'em in the ocean now!
Looks like there are many spots that access the beach in the park such as the Wreck of the Peter Iredale. But why don't you just keep on going to Alaska? (You should also visit Lewis and Clark Historical Park about 3 miles off Hwy 101).
FYSB has been following your journey!
So you get your tires in the Pacific and ride a bit more. The symbolism is from Ocean to Ocean...mission accomplished!!! Woohoo Brother of mine. Have said it before. So Gosh Darn proud of you!!>>
Thank everyone! Back home soon!
Thanks!
