After 5 days in Portland doing not much at all I caught the bus back to Seaside on the west coast and hopped back on my bike. I caught a cold in Portland that made cycling very unenjoyable but being the super tough person I am I soldiered on. Spent a few days on the road (by myself as usual) in some sunshine and some rain and then stopped in Newport for a couple of nights.

Pretty rocks, Cape Kiwanda.

Kinda lonely but beautiful photos, Greer! Here's the poem I tried to email to you on your birthday:
ReplyDeleteHigh Country Weather by James K. Baxter
Alone we are born
And die alone;
Yet see the red-gold cirrus
Over snow-mountain shine.
Upon the upland road
Ride easy, stranger:
Surrender to the sky
Your heart of anger.
Arohanui from Auntie Annie
