Sunday, 17th, rolling along again

I woke up in the beautiful spot with the surf pounding, and figure I should walk over to the beach and check it out.

Pretty spot on the way

I’ve seen quite a few of these birds

I met this woman on the beach. She says she has a house nearby. When I was going to th beach she was paddle boarding across the lake, and when I left I saw her paddle boarding away again.

I took a couple videos but I can’t edit them into one on this iPad, so here they are as two. This is the pounding surf I heard all night, and still heard for a few miles down the road as I pedaled away.

I enjoyed the walk to the beach instead of rushing off. I wasn’t anxious to get back on the bike and at that point, I didn’t realize how tired I really was from the day before. But, I had an agenda so off I went.

There were so many Canadian geese in the area! Huge formations were constantly flying overhead and who knows how many were flying over this field in the distance.

Pretty morning

I just thought these trees were interesting

Another pretty scene

I saw quite a few of these brown fields and it finally dawned on me. They are probably cranberries.

Of course there were hills. There are always hills! But, with hills also come beautiful views.

This spot was in Port Orford, and seemed the place to go for paddle boarding

The route then went through Humbug State Park, and I pedaled through beautiful pine forests and not too much climbing, at least for a while.

I filled my water bottle from one of these mountain waterfalls and it was so good!

Again, the climbs that came later brought beautiful views.

It was beautiful, but a really difficult day. I was really tired from the day before and struggled to make my destination 33 miles away. There was no way I was going to try for the next possibility 11 miles farther down. When you spend more time watching the miles click by rather than looking at the area, that’s not good.

So, it was time to pull back a little and my destination for Monday was the place 11 miles away, and some downtime.
