We survived day one... Barely. :). Nothing Went as planned. It downpoured. Took the wrong train... Thank u rach :) almost missed our bus to astoria but I sprinted in the middle of traffic n rain for a cab. Got to bus station n they said they didn't have my bike. Rach calmly asked them to check again. Once in Astoria, the frustrations of putting our bikes together in the rain are undescribable. Hungry and wet we rode 37 miles to our camp site. The major question of the day was what in the heck were we thinking coming out here? It was like everyone elses reality was finally hitting us. But there was good in the mist of our day. We laughed until we cried and built some character. Here's rach to tell you what we are THANKFUL for...
