End of Week 2, August 15th

It's the end of our second week. We've traveled 3875 miles since we left. We've seen many amazing things! We are in Crescent City California for the night. We will continue to travel south on US 101 tomorrow and I've forgotten where we will stop for the night! I know we plan to see some redwoods tomorrow.

We have been meeting at the motorcycles at 6am each day. That seems to work for us and keeps us riding aggressively in the morning before the heat is intense. This morning in Florence, Oregon, it was misting and drizzling and foggy. We knew we had a lot of scenery to see today and so while we waited for the fog to clear off, we went to the Laundromat. That was a pretty different experience for us. It was a 24 hour facility and we found a guy sleeping there. He was pretty nice. A young couple who had been working on a fishing boat came in and did their laundry and showered. You could probably write a book about the people you can meet in a 24 hour laundry facility!

We saw wonderful Oregon beaches today and quaint little towns with lots of art galleries and shops. Oregon has made State Parks all along it's coastline. These parks are easily accessible from Highway 101. We crossed over into California this afternoon and are staying in an ocean view Motel. We had a picnic on the beach and spent some time walking on the beach. It was just too cold for any of us to get in!
