Left the campsite around noon today, soaking up the comforts of having laundry and Wi-Fi, and made my way on the highway south towards Oregon. Had a bit of a climb inland and then descended into the spectacular Columbia river mouth, facing a savage head wind as I pedaled towards the coast again. Made it to the 4 mile long Astoria bridge over the river, and the cross wind, small shoulder, traffic, and roadworks at the top of a huge hill at the end of the bridge made for a very interesting crossing. Descended into Astoria and my second state, Oregon, and made my way west to Fort Stevens state park, next to an old civil war and WW2 fort.
