February 2009 Email Ride Westport Ferry to Cathlamet

This Ride will take us from my house in Svenson to the Westport Ferry off Oregon US 30. We will take the short Ferry trip to Cathlamet for lunch. Then to Long Beach Washington and Cape Disappointment Lighthouse.
On today's ride we have Don S, Tim W, Mike P, Jim T, William A, Jim S, and Me...




We have to have hot coffee although it sunny there is a little bite in the air.







Time to crank up the heated gear and hit the road.



We arrive early at the Westpot Ferry. Gives us some time to enjoy the scenery.









That me, hey! it's sunny, I am riding my bike so I am happy.


















On the Ferry. This short Ferry ride only last about 10 minutes, costs $2 and adds a little adventure to ride.

Here are ready for lunch in Cathlamet Washington. The Riverview Restaurant. Home cooking at it's finest.













Parking on main street Cathlamet Washington















We stop by the Grays River Covered Bridge.















Little did I know before we turned down to this parking area at the covered bridge it had flooded here. You had to be really, really, really careful on this soft dirt. Right Don?

Mike P, with Jim T. in the background. This area looks like it was all under water from the big storm that passed through the Pacific Northwest two weeks earlier.














Tim always has a way with posing for the perfect shot, don't you think?














On to Long Beach Washington for coffee and ice cream.














Micky Dee's had the best dipped chocolate cone. Right Mike?















A great view spot of Cape Disappointment lighthouse.














Now if you double click this photo you can see the lighthouse on the point.

Our ride ends here but the next on is just around the corner.
