This Fall we're heading back out west. COVID will be in our thoughts as we plan for adventures while we stay safe! Our plans are to head first to Colorado, then zip over to Utah. Lots of hiking and biking are planned along our route.

Lewis & Clark reached the Pacific and spent the winter; we're going onto California!

We arrived at Cape Disappointment, but unlike our predessors, Lewis & Clark, we would have named it Cape Wonderful.  We biked 8 miles up the coast through the rolling sand dunes.  Stopped for Ruthie to discuss the 10ft Sturgeon with William Clark, and biked back as the sun was setting into the Pacific -- got back just in-time as we hadn't taken our headlights for the bikes.

The next morning we hiked up the cliff to the L&C museum and looked out over the Columbia River as it meets the Pacific Ocean.

Next a stop in Astoria, Oregon (yep a new state), for lunch at the Cannery Cafe which was the former Bumblebee Tuna canning facility.  Ruthie had her much desired Dungeness Crab in a greens salad and Morey had Salmon Cakes.

We said goodbye to Lewis & Clark as we visited Fort Clatsop where they spent the Winter of 1805.  Must say our RV has better beds!

Ended our day and the next one in the Williamette Valley where we biked 43 miles, watched Hazlenuts being harvested, and best, checked out the Wineries.  Great Pinot Noir's.
