Day 13 - Port Orford, OR to Brookings, OR - 59.8 miles

Happy 4th of July! Obviously we're a bit late on this, but we hope you all had a great holiday. We were feeling great last night after our 90 mile day - but we guess we just talked a big game because it hit us like a ton of bricks this morning. The weather not letting us warm up didn't help either - breathing while biking through the cold morning fog was like having your head in a freezer (writing workshop). When our route bent about a mile inland, we were thrilled to find that it was 75 and sunny as the smells alternated between sap, fresh cut crops, and cows (writing workshop). We were excited to get back to the coast to see the views all the locals (and even our maps) have been talking up only to discover the strange ways of the Oregon coastal fog. No views, still cold. :( The day ended with a bang, as we suppose all of yours did, but did your fireworks display cost $26,000? The fog did not stop Brookings from seeing every dollar of that. We think there were four finales, but actually left in the middle so can't be sure.
