Friday June 17

Gold Beach, Oregon to Vancouver, Washington



The 'Blonde in a box' (Bob's GPS) let us down this morning.
The fuel stop we expected in 7 miles turned out to be defunct so we had to push on to the next one with Bob's bike on fumes. He picked up the nozzle but when he selected fuel type, gas shot out of the nozzle all over his bike. This led to an impromptu bike wash. 


Coos Bay, Oregon




The Dunes on Oregons coast






Bob took this picture and we were right behind him. Just as we got up to the rollback truck I heard a loud bang and looking over I saw the white truck rolling backwards off the rollback. The truck operator  could only stand with his hands on his head in horror as he watched it roll backwards down and (fortunately) to the right, away from traffic but over the side of the mountain.  OOPS!
This recovery job just got a lot more involved.


Mount Hood, Oregon



























At Multnomah Falls





















Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon





















Rebecca at Multnomah Falls

Sunset over the Columbia River, Oregon looking across to Washington State

We camped just north of Vancouver, Washington.  
Setting up tents in the dark makes it more interesting.
