Update Extravaganza Pt. 10

Onward! We were headed for a campground called Circle Creek, just north of Cannon Beach, OR to stay for the night.


We passed this place on the way...but unfortunately we were too late to get in...would have been awesome though. We were probably nearly a kilometer away when I took this picture, if that tells you how big the hangar is.


We arrived in Circle Creek, got the tent set up and a fire going. basically a big field with fire pits...nothing special. We even got to wake up to this big thunderstorm that absolutely drenched everything. Little did we know it was to be a precursor for the rest of that day.


Tent fly open...difficult to see how wet it is, but let me assure you...it was ridiculous. Sounded like we had a tin roof over our heads.

There aren't any more pictures from here on, because we spent the rest of that day in the pouring rain. We got soaked and dried off maybe 5 or 6 times that day, and finally decided after being drenched all the way through (and I do mean all the way) to grab a hotel room in Everett, WA. We must have looked a sorry sight...making puddles in the lobby, dressed to the gills in very wet rain/motorcycle gear. Even my leather boots let water in...those were some ugly looking socks!

Either way, the lady at the desk was nice enough. She gave us a King's suite for 80 bucks! Of course at that point, I was ready to take a tarp with some twine for about that much. We were gonna try and make it all the way to Vancouver that day, but we got tired fast from the high speed, low visibility, heavy traffic and bike-unsettling construction. Oh well, it was a nice room, and we got our stuff mostly dry before we completed our journey to Vancouver.
