We see the sea!

Today we left Reedsport and headed to Charleston, a 35 mile ride. The forecast called for rain again this afternoon so we opted to stay another night in a motel. We've been on the coast for three days now, but a bit inland so we were thrilled to finally see the sea today!

We had southerly winds to deal with along with a few hills. We also had the pleasure of crossing this magnificent bridge, although it was a bit nerve racking as there was no bike lane or shoulder and a few, somewhat large gusts of winds so the pucker factor was in full swing.

But here we are in a nice dry motel, which was a steal of a deal, clean and roomy as far as motels go. If you're ever in Charleston, Oregon and are looking for cheap accommodations, we highly recommend Captain John's Motel.
