Day 11 Portland, OR
Nice town. I am not going to see much of it and I should not even be here. But we spent the day getting back toward our intended route. The ride today was flat and unspectacular except for the distant views of Rainier, St. Helen's and Hood. They are awesome even from a distance.
We had the most amazing second breakfast in Longview, WA shortly before crossing the Lewis and Clark Bridge from WA to OR. It was cinnamon bread French toast and an egg and bacon. There was enough French toast for three people, literally. This was Stuffie's which I guess is famous for very large portions. It was just a lucky choice on our part.
We left Stuffie's and asked directions to the Lewis and Clark Bridge from Washington to Oregon. That was quite a climb up over that one and a great view of the Columbia River with ocean going vessels in the River.
We then road a mostly boring route on US 30 to Portland, found a motel, a place to eat and started to look at the maps and plan for the next days of riding. The climbs are as long or longer. The history we have with the weather and getting over the high mountain passes led me to have some trepidation on the balance of the planned trip.
Tomorrow is another day.
