Very good report and quite enjoyable read Bob. I don't get on the forum as often as I used to, but always enjoy these kind of stories. I used to get razzed by some in my group for posting lengthy ride reports to our email list. Then this year after Fly By nobody posted and somebody asked "we need one of Steve's old fashioned ride reports. I did a quick one, just didn't have the time then.

NinjaBob:
Thanks Steve. More to come. I am sifting through all the pictures looking for the best ones.

Astoria is at the mouth of the Columbia River and seemed like a once popular tourist trap that has seen better days. Our accomodation was at the Atomic Motel, advertised as decorated in 50s style (most likely because that's when it was built) and without Air Conditioning. We were able to stay reasonably cool with a box fan in the window. Next door to the motel  is the quaint Pig and Pancake diner. We ate supper and breakfast there, good chow!

STLTHMSTA:
Yes, keep the ride reports coming. Some of us have to live vicariously through others. I don't think of it as rubbing it it in, more like telling of an exciting ride.  Greetings to GEOffrey also. Good to hear from you ol' buddy. best to all injured on the fateful weekend.   TM

On August 18 we breakfasted before heading out. We crossed a super high bridge over the Columbia River into Washington and rode north on US 101, making a short detour on WA 102 to Seaview Beach where a gravel road runs out to the actual beach. We stopped and took pictures of our bikes with the Pacific Ocean in the background. We continued up scenic 101 with plenty of views of the Pacific and on to Port Angeles and finally Silverdale on the Puget Sound.
