Woke up this morning with everything slightly damp but when I got out of my tent there was a friendly little yellow face poking his head out of the clouds. We left camp separately but kept meeting up and overlapping during the day. Caught my first glimpse of the Pacific ocean early on which a great feeling and then moved slightly inland. We all met up in the town of Raymond for food/coffee, and also bumped into the cyclist, Maryanne, who I called with on day 3. On the way our of Raymond I caught up with Eric who had his second puncture in 2 days. Their pump had stopped working so they were pretty relieved to see me. They ducked into the nearest campsite which was less than a mile away and the rest of us met up at the commercial KOA campground which has laundry, Wi-Fi and showers. Soon after 4 more cyclists arrived so there was 8 of us in camp altogether. The rain is fully gone at this stage and I'm hopefully looking forward to a few dry days. Writing this in the campsite the next morning where I'm preparing to take on the huge Astoria bridge and into Oregon!
