I did a lot of riding today. My aches weren't too bad and I rode 85^W 90+ miles today. I was planning only doing 70, but I took a wrong turn and went 5 or so miles down cape arago. They was a colony of seal lions that I heard and got some pictures of. I also needed to go into brandon to pick up food since charleston didn't have what I was looking for. My side trip down cape arago was very pretty and the road was nice and smooth. I was also on a bit of a sugar high since I had 3 cups of iced tea at subway when I stopped for lunch. I left at 0730 and arrived at 1430 with a half hour lunch stop in coos bay. I opted to stay at bullards beach park instead of the hostel since they are supposed to have a museum with pictures of ship wrecks. 7 devils rd was a little rough but a nice ride along the top of a ridge. I saw markings on the road for devil #2 and devil #7. The sign for devil #7 made me smile. Well there was a map of shipwrecks at the lighthouse that was 3 miles out from the campground. The campground is rather small. As for the hostel I looked for it when I went to get groceries, I didn't find it there so I'm glad I didn't try to stay there. I got some company tonight, and older guy named ken biked from honeyman (he was they guy camped when I checked at 1730 yesterday). I made a fire so we could cook up some of they spicy hotdogs he bought today. Supper was a bag of chex mix a rogue brown ale, two hot dogs with colby jack cheese in japapeno & cilantro wraps. Ken has been fun to talk to he has done the pacific coast trip once a years since the 70s so he knows all the places to stop. There were 4 other guys camping at honeyman last night, I passed them within the first 15 minutes since one of them stopped to put on sunscreen. I didn't see the sun today. It took me a while longer to pass ken but I did on the first bridge.
I rode from honeyman to bullards beach today.
