Day 2: Tuesday May 31, 2022

We woke up to 46 degrees in Fortuna CA. After a continental breakfast at the hotel Doug rode in on his BMW motorcycle and joined us on the ride up Hwy 101 with a brief detour to ride a portion of old Hwy1 to Crescent City CA where we stopped for lunch. After lunch Doug separated from us and headed back to Fortuna.  We continued north and crossed into Oregon.  We had gorgeous weather all day and the ride was perfectly relaxing. The coastal views were stunning especially when we stopped to tour Cape Blanco Lighthouse. Unfortunately it was closed for tours today but we did get a few photos from afar. We were pleased to leave California gas prices which were nearing $7 a gallon in Crescent City to $5.25 a gallon in Oregon. I seriously doubt we will ever see $2 a gallon gas again, especially in California.  

After all our stops for road construction, lunch and sightseeing we arrived in Coos Bay OR and decided to have dinner and stay the night.  After dinner Eric and Rob rode to Sunset Beach for a romantic viewing of the sunset. 😂 😂

We rode 266 miles today.
