Road Trip 2013 - Day Twelve

The temperature is rising, so much for the perfect weather we had for days. The wise decision is to head to the coast so we leave Walla Walla, WA to head to the Oregon Coast today. We're not too sure how far we'll get, and we still have plenty of vacation time.

We rode along the Columbia River, which sounds scenic and it is not. At least for most of ride it is not all that scenic. See?
We did get to the beautiful Oregon Falls area, took the Historic Route 30, did a little walking up the Multnomah Falls, stopped for the Vista House at Crown Point to see the panoramic view of the Columbia Gorge.
We rode in to Lincoln City, OR and stopped for the night. Funny, we ended up at the same hotel we stopped at years ago on our first long trip.
Instead of the Road House we ate at last time, we opted to go upscale. The food hasn't been gourmet on this trip. We ate at Kyllo's Restaurant which is a great location, very good view, and above average food. They're not as cool, hip, and happening as they think they are, still better than what we've experienced. Donna & Bret, who do not eat fish, were good sports and found things that they liked.
