Day 4: Westport to South Bend, WA

With the Pacific finally on my right, I'll pass through Grayland, then wrap around Willapa Bay to South Bend, known for its oysters & scenery.  I may take a side trip to Tokeland, at the tip of the peninsula, but we'll see how I feel about adding those few extras miles. Since smoking weed is in fact legal in the State of Washington, I've got a feeling I know what Tokeland is all about. It's a scheduled shortie, only 37 miles today. 


I'm feeling good this morning, although my knee is hurting.  And no, not the one I injured.  The other knee is sore from riding.  Knee soreness was unexpected. I haven't had that since the first CCC. Can't have it now!

Richard and Tracy of Westport Bayside B&B

Well, forget about that Tokeland stop for munchies. Richard and Tracy from the Westport Bayside B&B served us an incredible breakfast!  Since it's wet outside anyway and the forecast looks better later, I decided to have breakfast here, and it was a very good move!

Fresh fruit and Greek yogurt & maple nut granola

Roasted red pepper & herb cheese omelette

On the road now, passing through Grayland, the sort of funky coastal town that I'll be seeing a lot of from here through northern California.

Okay, I'm posting several photos now of the day's ride. It was a good, easy one. I needed it! I hadn't been able to post because I had no data connection most of the way. I suspect GPS location wasn't getting posted either. Had to find a spot in South Bend with wifi.

Someone call Blackbeard; I found his boat

First glimpse of the Pacific

Look Lauren, a B&B for horses!

Cool setting

If the Devil isn't screwing you over, it's those damn Nazis!

Oliver, first traveling cyclists I've seen in a couple days. He's riding Vancouver to San Diego

Raymond likes their rust art - low maintenance I guess

Seaview Motel, a very good call

I have enough self-esteem to order a Loser

Oh darn, I got a flat...

I wonder what Karl did to get his own wall?
