Thursday, September 10th
Newport to Florence OR.
Today I covered the most ground in the shortest period of time. The winds were favorable and the hills were minimal; 71 miles of continuous coast line. Now that most of the schools are back in session, the traffic has lessened to a very tolerable level. Of course there are still plenty of big rig RV's, but for the most part they now have room to move to the far left section of the roadway and not forcing us bike riders to pitch into the ditch.
I connected up with Luke just before heading into camp. We spent the evening talking about our journeys and watched the sun set once again on the Pacific Ocean. Luke begins school in just 4 days, so he is catching a train in the morning and heading home. I admire his spirit, for a kid of only 19 years, he has a good head on his shoulders and a very kind heart.
No pictures from this portion of the ride because I have not had a chance to recharge my camera battery. Suzie was kind enough to overnight ship a battery charger to my next destination, so I will be able to catch more of the sights with a lens in the near future.
That's all for today. Good night.
