Almost out of Oregon by now. It surely went by rather quickly.
North of Coos Bay are some nice beaches and inlets with cols that go up to some 500 feet. Saturday was very sunny and sunday rather strange. First sun al over and later on the day rain like it was never going to stop.
Florence and Newport are dull mediocre countytowns with the same shops all-over again. The nicer places can be found in-between. Slept into the dune-area near Yachats and placed an GP-antenna for 20 almost on the beach. Great ears but no ON-catch this time, DL and YL were ok.
Met a lady walking on the beach that was born in Fynn and raised in Ahus DK. She's some kind of a 'strandjutter' and gave me a little pink stone that's very shiny and stuff. She lived here for more than 55 years and by age she's .. some 5 years older than the oldest bakery-woman in Willebroek..
Again met some really interesting cyclers al going South to San Francisco or San Diego. Alex, Ken, Kirsten and friend and a young guy from Portland that was wearing the national crossjersey from .be from Sven Nys, he said.. I forgot his name, quite a strange one but he was really into veldcross and knew much about it.
I'm always happy when the weekend is over, way too much traffic on the roads and too many people into shops and restos. I got a flat tire on sunday, it really was leaking air very slowly. There was a little piece of metal in the outertire that perforated the innertire. Fixed it on a statecampground where I stood next to a girl from London, UK doing the opposite trip as i'm doing upto Vancouver. This campsite had T-Mobile datacoverage, a real miracle..
Prognoses for sunny days in the next 3 days are non-existant.
