 Our day starts again with dense fog. And unnecessarily also without any breakfast. After all, it’s our fault because our food provisions have been carried off by a raccoon at night. For this reason, we have to collect and dispose of the package rests, which lie all over the place even 50 m far away. The technique, with which the package of cookies has been torn open, makes us think the raccoon has not really understood the concept of a resealable package. |
 Interestingly, far sight only exists in the tunnel this morning. Exactly where you can see clearly further than 25 m, there is another cyclist button warning drivers against cyclists. Although . . . |
 . . . the warning lamps outside the tunnel would have made much more sense this morning. |
 We have breakfast at Twin Lakes Store, after about 15 km. Here we meet Jim again who had his tent next to ours last night. |
 As we continue, we cycle through forests and dunes, whereby the dunes occasionally border directly on the forest areas. |
 Shortly before North Bend, we cross the McCullough Memorial Bridge, one of the many large bridges in Oregon planned by Conde McCullough. With a length of about 1600 m, the bridge is rather long and the ramp on a height of 50 m also needs to be overcome. |
 Fortunately, the highest speed for cars can also be reduced to 30 mph by pressing the cyclist button. |
