Coast Camp 2 - 44°15'15.66"N, 124° 5'38.88"W
This is the day that I decided to ride the 101 as it followed the coast.
I left Jan at camp sipping tea and rode on ahead.
After about 10 miles I had had enough.
Being passed by vehicles when riding on or near the shoulder is something to which I am accustomed. However, on this section of highway "no shoulder" is often the rule, usually on curves with a guard rail giving the rider no escape. Large RV's and tractor trailers are hugging the inside of curves putting themselves just a whisker from the rider.
A tip of the helmet to those who ride the entire coast highway.

Rode about 20 miles around the park and the ride was more pleasant than the 101.

Approaching the Astoria-Megler Bridge to cross the Columbia River.Note: Bridge crossings make Jan very uncomfortable.
Getting closer, Jan.
It isn't over yet.
Washington is just a bridge away.
