Hot on the Oregon Coast

It is unseasonably warm on the Oregon coast, today would reach 88 degrees.  We repeated the ritual of morning clam digging.  The entertainment for the day was watching a driver of a Mercedes SLK convertible determining that the sign that said "WARNING- 4 Wheel Drive Vehicles only beyond this point" did not apply to his 2 wheel drive, low ground clearance vehicle.  There was much cheering and "you can't fix stupid" statements as we watched the idiot try to dig his car out, only to have it sit firmly on the undercarriage.  After at least a half hour, a better good Samaritan than I hooked a winch cable to the car and pulled it 100 ft back to a solid surface.  It took several rehooks to get it, and the Mercedes driver wasn't helping at all, turning the wheels the wrong way, despite good coaching by the Good Samaritan's co pilot.  I didn't have my camera or phone with me, or I would surely post a photo for your enjoyment.  I talked to the Good Samaritan later and found that the Mercedes driver gave him $20...........for the half hour of work to pull him out.  A tow truck would easily have cost 10x that amount.

Anyway, back to the biking.  I rode to the beach in the afternoon and puttered around just a bit in the warm sunshine.  I got 7 miles total before having to break camp and get on the road.
