June 25th to Cape Lookout State Park

We took a scenic and strenuous route from tillamook up a two mile hill that made my thighs beg for mercy. So worth it.





From here we could here a very loud jumble of bird calls from a thousand birds floating offshore.





We all took a short hike to a lighthouse and hoped that the bikes would be gone when we got back.


Of course, the bikes were just fine, so we had to ride on.





As we biked along the coast, I saw a dozen blue herons. They stood along the shore like muses on a Greek amphora.


At the hiker biker sites at Cape Lookout State Park, we each had to buy a site to stay at. I set up and went to the beach.





Lukas and I ran into the ocean and then went to the showers. I hit the hot shower button ten times. It was my first shower in three days.
