It Rains in Washington.....

We opted for an early start and just as we were straddling our bikes the lightening flashed and the thunder crashed - back inside for more coffee and a relax for over an hour. Thus at 9:30 we rolled out. We were heading for Toledo and possible camping. The roads were quiet and certainly before lunch, it was flat. Lunch in an State Park (cinaman roll for me - smoked salmon and humous for others) then we rode into town. No camping no motel just Betty's cafe. Due to the threat of more storms and rain we opted to head for Castle Rock  another 15 miles.  The ride to C R was great on the old road with all the traffic on the interstate. Through wooded landscape and farms. Undulating and wet . Gilly & Di are safely in Portland in a friends daughters flat.
Us 5 remaining plod on and we should be on the Columbia River tomorrow.
