The rain gets its last digs in as we hit the road. It had rained all night and wasn't letting up anytime soon.
The motorcycles were getting a bath of a life time while sitting on the trailer behind Tiny. I can only imagine how dirty these bikes will be by the time we roll into Tucson!
As we headed down I-5, our sites became focused on Astoria, OR. No particular reason, just a way to navigate around Portland and over to Hwy 101. We were pleasantly greeted with sunshine as we pulled into the Astoria Safeway parking lot.
Our destination was refined as our spirits were buoyed with the glimpse of the sun. Onward to Cannon Beach! We hoped to find reasonably priced accommodations since it is off season, but more importantly find one of those cute little mom and pop places so often found in small towns. We found the mom and pop "look" with Mc Bees. Not so sure about the reasonable price, even though we were given a discounted walk in rate (who affords these places during the tourist season??). 
With room in hand, we went in search of a beer to celebrate the first day on the road. Bill's Tavern seems to be the destination of choice for a number of people in the area. Not a bad place at all. Bill brews a variety of Ales. The Blonde Ale is quite tasty!
Before heading back to the room for the night, we walked to the beach and took in the sunset. God's twinkle in the sky (oops, eye) for the end of our day!
