Drove to Raymond, WA and resumed my ride to Mexico with a bicycle that shifts well. The ride from Raymond to 6 miles north of the Astoria bridge was wonderful. Nice wide shoulders, great scenery and the weather was perfect.

I stopped in a State Park to check out their services. Met two bicyclists that are riding to Mexico from Vancouver,BC. We exchanged information on road conditions. Good places to camp and other information.

Finished mt eide of 43 miles and drove to an RV Park in Chinook, WA located on the Longview Peninsula. A clean campground with charming owners. She told me to mak sure that nothing edible was left outside becue the black bear population that frequent their RV Park would take it away in a heart beat.

Miles for day: 46

Total Miles: 289
