bmiller Posted July 30, 2013 #1 Posted July 30, 2013 Morning All!! I must have forgot to hit "submit" yesterday as I could not find Day 2. I have included a few pictures from Days 2 & 3 (More in my Gallery). Absolutely outstanding scenery so far and I am told it get's even better yet. overnighted in Astoria, OR last night. People here are great, open and friendly, pretty community & GOOD food to boot! Definitely recommend Stephanie's if you are passing through Stephanie's Cabin Seafood & Steakhouse The weather has been cloudy, a little cool but no rain I am averaging 6.6L\100K (Showing my age because this means nothing to me) or 41 MPG (this I understand)

Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the slavery of Home, man feels once more happy. The blood flows with the fast circulation of childhood. Afresh dawns the morn of life." -...- Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1290) One day I'll have to read his autobiography! He is a man after my own heart as are you!! Enjoy every minute of it!

Looks like you're off to a nice start.
