Friday

Friday was an awesome day. We left from Goble camp grounds, we stopped in St. Helens and had breakfast at the Village Inn. Way too much food, we took a doggie bag and ate from it today!

The ride seemed easier than the first two  days. We rode our bikes over the  St. Johns Bridge in Portland, fun but kind of scary!  Two lanes of traffic going each direction we rode side by side and took up the right lane.

We got lost on Portland, the map was really confusing we kept going back and forth trying to figure where we went wrong. We couldn't find anyone interested in helping us until we saw some guys coming out of a bar, they were extremely helpful and got us on the right path. That was not, however, the last time we got lost! Long story short, we ended up staying at the Portlander Inn. So nice, we got another shower too!

My good friend Lori Cravin came to see us at the hotel. She brought her sweet daughter, we had a wonderful visit. She (Lori) was a young girl when we met her 35 years ago. She used to baby-sit for us. We reminisced about the good old days!

We got our laundry done, drank some chocolate milk and slept like babies.
