San Juans to Portland

Guest Blogger: Jaclyn

After leaving the San Juan Islands, we biked down the easy coastal route to the Keystone-Port Townsend Ferry. We decided to take the inland peninsula route, because it was drier, though we did miss touring the towns of Twilight :(

We had some great sunshine and biking.

Then the rain started and we haven't had a full day of sun since.


We sprinted across the 4 mi Astoria Bridge, which spans the Columbia River and connects Washington and Oregon. The shoulder was recently widened so it wasn't as terrifying as we thought. The long, steep incline at the end was much, much worse.

Finally, we were in Oregon and onto Portland.

But first, a stop in Scappoose for their annual sauerkraut festival and the fantastic sauerkraut sandwich.
