Raymond, WA to Warrenton, OR - 52 miles
We had planned to spend one more night in Washington state, but Oregon was so close that we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to keep going. Once again, our boys amazed us! We gave them the option of a shorter day, but they both chose to go the extra mile (more like 12 miles) and reach a bench mark of this ride - one state complete.
The bridge into Astoria, OR is AMAZING! It's over 20,000 feet long, nearly 4 miles. Pedestrians are prohibited, but there are signs warning vehicle traffic that there are bicycles on the roadway. Ironically, another touring bike came up behind us on the bridge. It was the cyclist from Quebec that we met at camp 3 days ago. We had taken different routes on Saturday morning, but our paths crossed again as we crossed the bridge.
The best part about riding into Oregon today was the welcoming party. My parents are vacationing on the coast this week, so we made sure to cross their path as well.
