Beautiful ride yesterday... not so nice today

Lyon here - Yesterday we rode from Lincoln city to the carl g washburn state park, 65 miles altogether. Even though we were really tired, the last part was amazing. South of Yachats, rt. 101 traces the contour of the uninhabited coastline through a long stretch of rocky capes, sandy beaches and steeply dropping creeks. We saw waterfalls and sea birds like gulls and pelicans. (The other day we saw a blue heron). But today, so far, has been cold and rainy. I was pretty miserable when we came to this little diner outside Florence. But, now after having a hamburger and some apple pie, I feel way better. We'll let you know how far we get today...
