Leaving Tillamook Tomorrow

We have had a nice rest in Tillamook at the Shiloh Inn, but need to get on the road tomorrow. Hopefully the spare shifter cables for the Rohloff Hub will be at the Post Office. Candy's sister Claudia and her friend Ed drove down for a visit yesterday. Candy calls her "the stalker", as we have seen her several times on our route since we left. We purchased two pairs of compact binoculars today, the better to take in the awsome Oregon coastline. We also purchased a larger tent to try out. I was satisfied with the small one, but Candy thinks it's too small, which it probably would be if we were stuck in a campground waiting out a storm for several days. The new tent is heavier, but may be worth it. We'll see. Also purchased a weather band radio to stay aware of any severe weather headed our way. I installed two new tires, the heavy thorn resistant tubes and slime on the front wheels. I think the original tires that came on the Greenspeed are great for casual riding, but not up to the loads we are carrying and debris I have been running over. The Greenspeed rims are holding up great, with no sign of a problem, even though I've smacked some pretty good holes in the road.
