ON the road!!

So here we are! Tillamook county, yes the famouse tillamook cheese is made here and yes we did stop and eat our share of it at the free factory tour! It has been a memorable first couple of days on our bikes. We stayed in Lincoln city on the coast for a day and night getting our gear together and surfing the famouse otter rock.Our journy finally began, and by this i mean we actually were riding south on 101 at five pm in astoria northern most coastal town of oregon. The goonies were filmed here and so was short circut 2.., our first night of the 29th we road a wopping 8 miles to our campsite at fort stevens. It s a good choice because we had to work on our trailers and modify them just a bit. We met some other tourers, and they were astonded by our wonky looking trailers with surfboards attached! We arranged to leave early from our campsite to get a move on for the day. Our second day we experienced many long up hills, and made our way to ozwald state park to surf and camp! We rolled our trailers down closest to the shore that we could get them, grabbed our gear and surfed for two hours, when we were done we found out that there was no longer any camping in this area and we had to continue to Nahalem state park another 7-8 miles up and around a mountain! IT was a long second day for us, we pushed at least 35 miles , we were tired. Pulling into Nahalem state park we set up camp and ate as much food as our bellies could hold, took hot showers!, did some much needed yoga, enjoyed a cup of hot choc, and fell asleep.
We woke up with the sun, which is awesome not knowing what time it is and just listening to our boddies when we need sleep and food. We packed up our gear and were on the move yet again. OUr goal today was a small town just outside of tillamook, where we will be meeting a freind of ryans for the night and hopefully surf. which brings us to now, the tillamook public library... to be cont. ( We will hopefully be posting pics up of our adventure! but for now we are experiencing some difficulties with our internet access at library's please bare with us!)
