We had a great night sleep. Just out of Cathlamet a couple miles we will be catching the ferry to Oregon. We will not miss rainy Washington.
We are now in Oregon! It's probably just psychological, but it seems to be a relief to be out of Washington. A short 3-4 mile ride brought us to a ferry across the Columbia river to Oregon. From Westport to Astoria, OR, we faced 5-6 climbs, each over 600 feet. But they were long and gradual hills, so not that bad. We broke for lunch at Knappa Junction, eating our beloved peanut butter, banana sandwiches.
The weather was overcast skies, cool to warm temps. Perfect cycling weather. We ended our day in Astoria, staying at the Hideaway Inn & Hostel ($44). The nearest camping spots were 10 miles away and we needed to do laundry, update the blog and hit the bike shop anyway, so the hostel was a good plan for the night. The hostel had a laundry facility, so that was helpful. We ate at a nearby cafe. Supper was a sandwich of fried oyster, bacon and tomato sandwich. Delicious.

Brother,
Sounds like you two are having a blast. Hopefully you don't run into rain too much more.
Bro, Dan
