Way To Go Girl We were being overrun with giant pelicans surrounding us, apparently, we were surfing above a school of fish. . . (Sharks?) ;)-Joe

We went surfing today. Super nice waves! They were perfect! What a blast. At one point we were out a little ways waiting for waves and a gull flew up to us and basically hovered just two or three feet away. Super weird. Then later I saw something dark up a head in a wave and realized it was a seal. The seal popped its head up a few times seeming to watch us and then we didn't see it again. We stayed out for a bit, but Joe needed to get out of the sun and we were both really worn out. So now we're hurting a bit, but we may head out again tomorrow morning before we have to leave here. The waves were too perfect to pass up.

We biked south down 101 to see if we could find any place to park. We explored some, but nothing looked very promising. There is one possibility, but it's right off the highway and it would be maybe just for over labor day weekend... We ended up biking 20 miles yesterday.
Today we took our bikes into Newport which is a couple miles away and biked around town.
We also moved to a new campsite today which is right across the road from a beach access trail. So only about 1/4 mile to the beach now. That's not quite as bad. We'll probably go surfing tomorrow.

We have now moved to a new campground. We are now in South Beach State Park. It's a quite large campground, so people everywhere, but there are little trees between campsites... Every site is a hookup site though, so we can finally fully charge our batteries. We're even using the water, so our loud, annoying water pump doesn't run when we run water.
Fun fun.The beach is a bit of a walk which is fine except for the fact that we want to go surfing and carrying the boards and wearing the wet suits during the walk would be painful... We'll see what we do.

Well, we've been staying in Lincoln City in a State Park for a few days. Went on a nice bike ride yesterday and went out to eat at a Thai place. Very good food there. We went to Mexican place the day before that. It was named Mazatlan, which was the same as the place we went in Rockaway Beach that we liked so much. It must have been a similar company, but the menu was a bit different.
We've been running low on power because of lack of sun, and now out camping spot doesn't have much sun either. So today we drove to a public parking by the beach and went surfing while we let our batteries charge some. The surf was crazy. Very wishy-washy and we had to work really hard to get out. So we didn't stay out too long. It was still fun though.
