Day 10 - Newport, OR - 0 miles

Our first full off day was well worth the wait. Exploring the town in a car with Deirdre and Seth was a welcomed change as we hit all the historic Newport sites with just one pedal: Nye Beach, the laundromat, the harbor, the ATM, the best restaurants that Yelp could recommend (there's an app for that!), and the Yaquina Lighthouse where Keeper Harry was neither impressed with Austin's inquisitive nature, nor his pronunciation of Yaquina (Ya-KWIN-a - it's not Spanish). Newport had lots to offer, but the real fun of the day was hanging out and enjoying each other's company. We laughed A LOT while swapping stories, figuring out what to do in Cali (poll to follow), and brainstorming blog ideas. Deirdre suggested we start a scavenger hunt - not the type with clues or items to collect, but one made up of activities or adventures. They started it for us with a few activities - camp somewhere illegally, take a picture with 3 librarians, and swim in the Pacific North of San Simeon. Now is where we need your help, please post any ideas you have and we will keep a running checklist. Anything goes.
