Day 15, 8/29/08

We decided that since we have been at it for 14 days without a rest day, today would be a good time for one. We cleaned our drive trains then headed to Tillamook and did a load of laundry. Stopped by the library for a few minutes to check email. We needed a rag to wipe down our chains and apply chain lube tomorrow. I figured I would find something cheap that would work at a thrift store. Sure enough, I bought a rag at The Wild Flower thrift store on main street for $0.49. Conveniently located right across the street was The Timeout Tavern. We were heading to the fish market, but had time before they closed so we stopped by the Timeout for a cold one where they were serving drafts for 50 cents! Boy, this rest day keeps getting better all the time.
After a few beers, we stopped by the Pearl Point Oyster Company and bought 3 dozen oysters for only $5/dozen. Stopped by Safeway on the way back to camp. We feasted on the oysters which were incredible. Some of them we heated up on a skillet then dipped them in some scampi sauce we bought, the rest we ate raw. The giant blue-cheese stuffed burgers were great too. On helluva rest day. The storms were back during dinner. Light rain and strong winds. But nothing like we had been seeing over the past 2 weeks.
