'Take pleasure in life's simple things'
Clean and refreshed we made the final push to the Washington Coast. As expected the interior of Washington is forgettable; numerous small logging towns, vast expanses of spruce trees, and numerous hills. Good training for the California coast in a few weeks!
We had our first mechanical (flat tire) of many we are sure and came through it relative unscathed. Removing numerous bike parts to get to it did ensure a very un-Tour de France like quick change.
We crossed the head of the massive Willapa Bay at Raymond, pedaling through ‘The Oyster Capital of the World’ in South Bend and then a rolling 25k to our campground – yes we are trying a campground again! – Along the Bay. We were sure to sample the local specialty and it did not disappoint in both its size and its taste.
From our tent site it was just a short hike to water and a walk along the shore of the bay. You could hear the mighty waves of the Pacific roaring in the distance and we were humble by the majesty of the scene.
