Corvallis

I realize I haven't posted in a while so I thought I just just fill yall in.
After getting into Oregon it was a totally new type of trip, there were bikers all over the place. I got a nice coastal biking map with topography so I can really see what I am going to get into each day. And the company has been a welcome change from Washington, I stayed kinda with the group I met in Astoria for a few days, I think we camped together for 4 nights at state parks right on the coast and was really impressed with how nice the parks were. It was really motivational to have fermilier faces along the way during the day, we never really biked together but I would come around the corner and Rich and his wife would be standing near their bike at a seanic overlook or something making new friends and having a blast, I can only hope that when I start back up in the next day or two I bump into more friendly people like them. Wellll, in Lincoln there is a lake called Devils lake and there is a park with the same name but it happens to be right in the city and the hiker/biker campsite was literally in someones backyard (I will post pictures when I am more motivated) and the next morning I went to my friends campsite to say farewell since I was stopping in Newport and they were continuing on but as it would they had walked to my site and we missed each other. The bike ride that day was about 25 miles with one moderate sized hill but nothing to bad. I read on the beach for a while and then Lindsey got there, we walked for a while and then got an amazing dinner at this really cool cafe with a pully system to get all the food and such upstairs to where the open mic was going on. So now for the past few nights I have been at Lindseys and it is really nice.

Hope all is well and I look forward to seeing everyone again,
Arthur.
