Lenny's sister Susan and her husband Mel drove us to Astoria, Oregon from their home in Lacey, Washington - a scenic 3-hour trip. Earlier that morning, Lenny had spoken to Darren Dunlap of the Daily Astorian and gave him an interview over the phone. Darren said he would meet us if he could, and expressed interest in covering our cross-country tour and writing about vertebral subluxation.
At Bikes & Beyond in Astoria, we spoke to Richard Fencsak, a freelance travel writer for the same newspaper, and told him about the ride as well. After picking up our bikes, we started our journey at 1:30 pm. We ran into our first obstacle - construction that had shut down the bridge we were supposed to cross. The alternate route was about 3 miles longer. We pulled into the Sea Ranch Campground at Cannon Beach at 5:30 pm. A great dinner at Mo's Fireside Restaurant (especially the tasty clam chowder) completed our first day on the road.
