33.8 miles
Well, shortly after turning in around 20:00 last night, it started to rain. It rained throughout the night and it's still raining this morning @ 08:00. I slept pretty good, though. Fortunately I got camp set-up and made dinner before the rain started. I turned in early and was asleep by 21:00. Woke-up around 04:30, and went back to sleep.
The weather outlook is for rain all day. The prospect of striking camp in the rain, and another day riding in the rain is less than appealing. I'm having trouble motivating myself this morning. Part of me wants to call it a rest/rain day, and spend the day in the relative shelter of my tent. On the other hand, it's gonna rain. This is the Pacific North-West, and rain is to be expected. If I don't ride in it, I won't be riding much!!
The next 60 miles or so, from Lincoln City down to Florence, are supposed to have some of the best views and natural attractions on the Oregon coast. There are seal-caves and whale-watching spots and a light-house. It might be better to wait for a better weather day. But then, there's no telling exactly when that would be. The forecast is for rain all day today, but also rain is in the mix for the rest of the week.
I'm gonna get washed up and use the facilities, and take it from there.
