Day 11 (Friday 5/21/2010) - Goble to Astoria, OR.

13:00
Last night I stopped just north of Goble on US-30. I’m not sure what it was, but I found a nice spot off the highway that was cleared and mowed (there was a Frisbee-golf course with lots of “no trespassing” signs). I made camp around 19:30, and it promptly began to drizzle. It rained pretty much throughout the night. I started out in just my bivy sack, but got up around 02:00 and set-up the rain-fly on my tent (I didn’t bring the whole tent in order to save weight).

This morning I woke up around 07:00. It was relatively dry in my shelter and plenty warm in my bivy, but that didn’t last long. I had to break camp in the rain, and I was quickly cold and wet (It was probably around 45°F). I was on the road by 09:00.

After riding for a couple of hours, my feet were freezing, so I stopped at a restaurant in Clatskanie, which is where I’m writing this. I should be in Astoria this evening, and I’ll try to post more.
