Day 5 of #ridingeverydayinNovember

I drove to Seaside on the north Oregon coast late last night after our local fire board meeting. The forecast for Portland called for rain showers. I expected it to be wetter on the coast. I was surprised to wakeup this morning to mostly blue sky and dry roads. I had a couple of hours before the conference started so I went for a little bike ride to keep my membership in the #ridingeverydayinNovember challenge active.  Rather than miles, my goal was to explore the area.

I started off with a ride to the beach.

 I rode along the Prom(enade)

Looking north

Looking south

Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery boiled sea water to obtain salt here in the winter of 1805-06.

In the very early 1900's the daughter of one of the Native Americans who helped the expedition located the site of the cairn and a replica was built on the site.

 I rode a little farther up the Prom where a sculpture commemorating Lewis and Clark was erected.

The weather continued to improve, but I was running out of time. I rode to the north end of the Prom then got on roads and made my way back south, doing a little scouting as I did.

I got 7 miles.
