Fairly soon after leaving our home for the night, we had a Seinfeld moment.
Kramer: I’m at the corner of First and First. How can the same street intersect itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.
Not much later, we saw this sign so had to stop.
It’s a good thing we’re biking 30 miles with 30 lbs of stuff for 30 days. Otherwise, we’d gain 30 lbs!
The owner of the donut shop asked if we were training for the StP ride. Having never heard of it, we said no, then looked it up. Apparently there are insane people who ride 200 miles in a single day from Seattle to Portland! And it turns out, they follow exactly the route we’ve been taking.
So, we downloaded their directions to Castle Rock and wound up in Winlock.
We continued to Vader where Alissa was able to upgrade her bike.
As we approached Castle Rock, we saw an unusual road sign.
We also passed FOUR coffee huts today! (We told you they were everywhere!)
We arrived in town just as Glen’s “family time” hour started, so we stopped at the local bookstore/coffee shop to use their wifi and get a snack. By coincidence, the author who was hosting a book signing today lives just a few miles from us in Marina del Rey.
We wandered around a bit and took more photos before heading to our home for the night.
