Day 18, 9/1/08



Rode from South Beach State Park to Honeyman State Park which is just south of Florence for a total of 54miles. Skies were sunny during the first half of the ride, we were even able to ride without leg & arm warmers, no base layer either. It became partly cloudy and cooler later on, but the ride was all along the coast with some gorgeous views.



Stopped for lunch in Yachats. Had espresso drinks with our peanut butter, banana sandwiches. Bought some locally grown chanterelle mushrooms from the market. When we got to Florence, we found a laundromat and did a load of laundry. The laundromat didn't have a bathroom, so we changed in a corner by the soda machine, out of view. Dinner was fried rice and chicken chow mein from the Safeway deli. We ate in the laundromat while waiting for our clothes to dry. Fine dining.



Our campground was very nice. They even had gate attendants working the front gate at around 8:30 pm. The hiker/biker sites were secluded and in the middle of a forest with tall trees. $8 for the both of us for the night including unlimited showers. Hot showers and to bed by 11 pm. Slept sound.
