Viewing the coast (Day 6)

Woke up this morning with a final goal in Portland. Voodoo doughnuts. If you've never heard of them: google. There was a bit of a line (I'm told there always is), but it moved fast and they had the system down. I love Glam Doll and Mojo Monkey's in the cities, this is another level. Our doughnutes from left to right were: Memphis Mafia (Banana Fritter with PB/Chocolate), Diablos Rex (Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting) and captain captain (Self explanatory?).

Also found a mechanic to fix the tail light. Super nice guy. In fact, pretty much everyone we've run into in Oregon thus far is very accommodating and friendly. We took off for the coast and hunkered down at Ft. George brewing for a beer and planning session. It turns out, camping sites are hard to come by on the Oregon coast this time of year. We snagged one of the last few spots at Barview Jetty cnt park.
The run for the day was at Ecola State Park. Awful running (single track, extremely hilly) but amazing views of the ocean off steep cliffs and what have you. This would be a great hike.

Camping was extremely underwhelming. We were packed in tight and there were a crazy amount of rednecks. Blaring music, loud, obnoxious kids, and overpriced, but we did have some fellow Minnesotans next to us out to try their hand at surfing. And at the end of the day, we had a campsite for the night on the Oregon Coast.
