We decided to stay at Wright’s for Camping in a hiker/biker spot at Cannon Beach to wait out the bad weather. I met Danni and Vinnie (Instagram @pairedexperiences)- a recently married couple on their journey to wine country. After being furloughed from their professional jobs in food service and entertainment, they decided to bike the Pacific Coast Highway. They’re an awesome couple and I hope I can find a partner who wants to adventure with me like that someday.
While Ruth and Rob were taking a much needed rest, my friend Amanda came to visit me from Portland!

We explored Cannon Beach which, if you didn’t already know, is a pretty touristy place. Amanda had her car, so we drove to some scenic outlooks that I wouldn’t have been able to see by bike.

It was pretty rainy, so we ended up just hanging out at camp with the other cyclists. However, we didn’t miss seeing Haystack Rock! We woke up early and got there at low/minus tide so we could see all of the intertidal critters.
