It's always beer a' clock at the westcoast :)

Howdy folks!

Riding west coasts seems to be a never ending story of good times. I've been biking along the Oregon Coast for a few days now and the weather have been excellent and the scenery stunning. That combined with meeting a lot of other travelers and having good times with food and beers on the afternoons while camping doesn't make it worse.

Started out in Olympia last Friday, for the second time, and so far I managed to keep my wallet in my bags:). The Washington part was kind of uninteresting and for a good reason, brought up bad memories along the road down to Astoria. When I came down to Astoria I found out that they had the 200 year "birthday" of the town that weekend and , apparently, it's the oldest town west of Minneapolis. They were really happy about it while I was thinking that there are few buildings in Europe that are younger than that:).

However, after Astoria the scenery adds up and The way to travel on the westcoast is defenitely to stay on the "Hike and Biker" sites along the road. We are pretty much gangs that are touring down south in different kind of speeds but decides before heading out were to stay for next night. Biking on the day is kind of hard work and  so far, harder work than mostly of the days along the Alcan. Really good scenery and after 5pm it's beer a ' clock and time for a swim in the freaking cold pacific ocean:).

A lot of people are warning about you have to be careful when camping because there are apparently plenty of cougars around. I don't know about that thou, the only cougars I've seen are the ones in the bars along the road, but, they can be pretty aggressive also :) .

Okey, time to head out to find a good camping for the night. Take care and hera are some nice pics just a couple of hours old :)
