So Long, Washington, Hello Oregon!

We had a rest day in Naselle, WA and stayed at the Hunters' Inn and Grill while it rained and poured.
The Hunters' Inn is not a place you might usually stop for a vacation.  Unless you were in Naselle, WA anyway and it was pouring rain and getting dark.
The motel office is in the bar.

But it was recently renovated and quite nice.  We went to the logging museum.  It's a lot like the museum in Placerville.  Just replace "gold mining" with "logging."

We had dinner at the grill.  Turns out Wheel of Fortune is on before Jeopardy here.  So that was weird.

We rode in the rain today and crossed one of the longest bridges in the country:  the Astoria-Megler bridge that connects Astoria, Oregon to the Washington coast.  The bridge is 4.5 miles long and has a nasty cross wind.

We also met a couple who was finishing their trip.  They had ridden from St. Augustine, FL to San Diego and from there were ending up at the top of Washington.  They were fit.

As we were ending the day in the pouring rain, a wonderful lady stopped her car and gave us directions to her house.  She said she couldn't leave us out in the cold!  She put our gear in her garage, made a wonderful dinner, let us do laundry and take showers and gave us a cozy bedroom to sleep in.  She's in he Warm Showers network.  To us, it felt like a miracle!

So.
We are in Seaside, OR and move on tomorrow.  Got a lot of great photos and met so many great folks.
We read the comments - so be sure to leave them!
