Day eight 1695 total miles – Crescent City CA

Pictures to come latter

Prior to leaving Florence, Biffy was thrilled to pieces to be back in Dutch Brothers land and of course had a wonderful latte. Although, Biff could not get the bike through the drive through lane so she had to stand in the drive through lane which made Sheri laugh hysterically.

And before leaving, Florence the girls got to see their first oddity of the day. Oh boy….it’s another Big Boy complete with parts of cars from the 50’s which all adorn a charming little diner.

A second day of cruising the Oregon coast. This is the most beautiful peaceful riding the girls have ever done!! Riding through the pines with views of the ocean on a clear day with blue skies, could there be anything more wonderful? As they cruised through the seaside towns they grew to understand that the ocean must impact residents minds and encourage the display of unusual “art’” The girls saws tigers on top of stores, many, many craved bears And at one stop they even saw gigantic dinosaur!!!

Roadie had her own excitement too. At the dinosaur stop Roadie met Sammie a miniature dachshund. The two doggies became fast friends and were jumping and bouncing all around. Roadie understood what it felt like to be a giant dinosaur because in comparison to Sammie Roadie was a giant being twice his size!!!! And size matters you know.

While the girls didn’t ride a lot of miles, they were on the bikes for long hours and by the time they got back into California to Crescent City, they were tired and decided it would be a good place to rest for the evening.

Yet, finding a place was more challenging…. Apparently Crescent City is a dog prejudice city!! Most of the hotels would not take a dog…..Biff suspects that wasn’t just a hotel policy, Biff expects they were warned about Roadie’s “outlaw” reputation and the hotels feared having such a scoundrel stay at their hotel…..But this all meant the girls ended up in a dump….it was cheap and had clean sheets but that was all we can say about it….
