Day 26. An oil change and more Oregon Coast

Our first stop of the day:

They did a great job, got both bikes in for an oil change right away and in short order we were all ready to go:

It was a clearer day today, no obvious smoke but a massive bank of fog lingered out at sea for most of the day. Once again we were left in awe by the beauty of this coast.



We ate lunch siting on a grassy slope looking out at the Cape Blanco Lighthouse.

We arrived at our Hotel in Gold Beach and as we got ourselves sorted out, were reminded that there are still wild fires raging just inland of us. What is a minor inconvenience to us is a real threat to other peoples' property and possessions.

Our room looks directly out onto the ocean and we soon got ourselves down onto the beach. Tom went for a run:

I watched whales spouting just offshore, spotted a seal swimming in the surf and took pictures of footsteps in the sand:


Small Plovers:
And waves:


We truly appreciate how lucky we are!
