54.3 miles
Continued down the coast. A wonderful couple, Bill & Vicki Howry, who live in Pacific City are hosts through warmshowers.com. I contacted them on Friday, and offered to host me for Sunday night. It was such a godsend!
I put in 54 miles today, running on a poor nights sleep. The last 20 miles were rough, but I knew I had a warm bed waiting at the end. I went through the town of Tillamook, OR, where the cheese comes from. I took a little tour of the Tillamook Creamery, and bought some cheese and fudge. I got to the Howry's around 18:30.
Bill & Vicki Howry were absolutely amazing--gracious, compassionate and very generous. They've transformed a part of there house into, more or less, a bicycle-touring hostel. Check out the pictures! I want to extend a very heart-felt thank-you to both of them. I was able to do a load of laundry, take a warm shower, and sleep comfortably in a warm, dry bed. It was just what I needed to recharge and renew myself on the road. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
