Relaxn' at Jim and Jim's "Art Palace"
(Almost) Sunset at Sunset Beach
Broccoli = PowerToday I rode about 50 mi from Humbug Mountain to Sunset Beach.
Along the 101 I stopped for a snack at a funky, colorful, open art studio. Here I met the funky, colorful, father & son creators, Jim and Jim. They gave me tea and let me sign their bathroom wall. Funny place.
The Oregon Coast bike map and route signs includes many scenic diversions from the busy hwy 101. These routes are clearly marked for Southbound riders, but many signs are often lacking for Northbound riders. This, in combination with a mis-named road and my own cycling stubbornness led me on a twisty, windy, up & down, 4 miles of gravel road! This was probably the hardest 4 miles of the trip. I thought of Jonathan Wooley on his California "lost coast" backroads adventure.
Sunset State Park is beautiful. I met some other hiker bikers then walked around. On my way back to camp I met two friendly car campers from Ventura who invited me over for tea and fire. I had a protein packed meal of refried beans and quinoa in a pita.
