Day 5 - Newport & Painting

We arrived at the Devil's Punchbowl last night around midnight and couldn't see what the scene was like, but we could sure hear the waves. So this morning we were surprised by the beauty around us.

We had a little breakfast on the beach

and then headed into Newport to organize the truck a bit and get this blog posted.

Anne and Sara are doing some painting at the Yaquina Bay lighthouse, while I'm here in the public library.

Here are their paintings...

We have so few miles to cover before the holiday weekend where we have a reservation at a little cabin at Umpqua Lighthouse State Park. And we all want to get in more riding than there are miles in between here and there, so after I post today we are planning out the next few days of riding.
