(^36) Cape Lookout SP – Pacific City - 30 km
First thing in the morning, the road climbed up and over the hills to
Pacific City. Once in town, and while filling up my water, I had a
chance encounter with a super-friendly guy who turned out to be the
owner of the Pacific Inn. We chatted for a while before he generously
offered me a lovely room to stay, free of charge. The staff even
offered to do my laundry, thought I hoped it wasn’t because I reeked
to high heaven.
The rest of my day was spent relaxing and recharging my devices
while enjoying the luxury of watching TV. As evening approached, I
decided to indulge in the American tradition of dining at a traditional
pub with country music, beer on tap, and burgers. Oh, my word,
what’s with the massive portions?
Pacific City – Beverly Beach SP - 70 km
I didn't expect to see Lam and Jeffry again, but I was surprised to
find them slowly crawling up a long hill shortly beyond Pacific City. We
cycled together, had coffee at McDonald's, and shopped at a small
grocery store. Afterwards, we agreed to meet at the next Hike & Bike
and then proceeded at our own pace.
The stretch to Beverly Beach was short but exceptionally scenic,
passing Neskowin Beach, Boiler Bay, Pirate Cove, Rocky Creek, and
Devil's Punchbowl.
