I suspect our trip is winding down
Made to a campground today, but last spot available, very hot out at couger rock campground.  Hmm, hope it isn't the high heel kind... Great ride and love the Astoria bridge. I think I missed the ride along the river somehow. I kept waiting for it to appear, but it never did. 

My phone gps said rerouting and as we left the highway, we noticed traffic coming to a standstill.  The new road was slower but more scenic and a fun bike ride for sure.

Now at camp, like I said, must be getting close to the end of the trip as my food stores are getting low, it is very warm and lots of people are out and about. 

After lunch we will head to Steven's canyon road. The road is blocked as it is still wi ter here, so it will be a drive and return.  Tomorrow looking at out the way we came in, north around the mountain and then up to sunrise for more camping.

Side note digging into my cheap beef ramen. Apparently doesn't taste great. I look at the package and it says vegetarian. Ughhhh...

 And today was nice but short.. https://www.relive.cc/view/v1vj9Dp2pJq How's about that, June 4th drove from Mora campsight via the beach and stopped at more beaches. Meet a couple from the east  coast that showed me pics of a tropical looking forest, so headed there. Now at Gatton Beach creek campsight.  Howard had us on a great 4 mile hike thru some tropical forest up in the hills.  A really nice hike, old forest cedar trees, streams and maybe some bear poop... Well back at camp, went for a swim and found it very refreshing. Sitting in my cool camping chair finished a beer and some chips, dinner is at the salmon house less than a half miles away.  I think we will walk.  Talk amongst the group about staying a second night... discussion is how cold will it be tonight...  only time will tell, stay tuned for more on Howard and John's driving in circles. Arrived at the salmon house for dinner I  , ordered.... The spaghetti and meatballs of course. no...

 Not a high mileage day, but great exploring the seaside. https://www.relive.cc/view/vMq5eE71AQq Coos Beach, sunset campground rocks. It's a great place even if cold and foggy.   Breakfast at camp Roddy, and maybe 17 miles total today.  Beach tidepool cruising, hiking g to see the walruses hanging out, and more tidepooling.  Tomorrow we head down the coast to Elk Praire campground. About three  and a half hours away down the coast.  Plan is up and breakfast, the  depart just after 7am so as not to wake to many happy campers. Sleep tight!

 Day 22, June 8th https://www.relive.cc/view/vYvrVAXAdLv Off from camping at Rainier, a nice night, I went top less st 4k feet, we'll just the screen no tent covering to keep the bears and raccoons out.   Warm till 11, then a small light blanket then about 2am I dove into my sleeping bag.  Up early and on the road, we stop for coffee and simple food at a hiking inn just outside the park.  Good stuff.  I try to get us to the backside of Mount saint helens. But both roads are blocked due to snow and other road issues. First road about 15 miles in towards Couger, we need to turn around.  Super nice bike road for sure.  Then back to the sispus road and down to Mount Adam's, but alas when we ask at the conservation core camp off sysapus, they tell us the road is closed and back to the highway we go.  Now at a pretty cool dinner in Naches at about 2pm. We make camp at Yakima sportsman state park, not bad, for 30 bucks, you get mosquitos, homes wit...
