09/13 I’ve been duped. The ferry that my fellow touring riders told me about has been closed for 3 seasons now. In fairness to them none of the “official looking” web sites about the ferry mention anything about this. You’d think the town would stick up a sign so chumps like me don’t have to ride the 5 miles to get to where the ferry used to be. The only thing that made the ride bearable was that I had clam chowder, a delicious corned beef sandwich and a couple Guinness at Galway Bay Irish Pub for lunch first. Wrapped it up with some Death by Chocolate cake w/ice cream.
On the way back it started raining so being a bit annoyed anyway I just grabbed a motel. Tomorrow I get to start the 43 mile trek around Grays Harbour to get to Westport which is where the ferry would have taken me in 20 minutes.
This morning as I was packing up I heard a noise that sounded like what you’d hear if a hot air balloon was being heated by the flame. It was the crazy guy using a can of aerosol spray (deodorant) and a lighter to start his campfire. The Harley guy did end up leaving last night with his GF. It was way too dark for me to be riding so I stuck it out.
No pictures because it was grey and kind of ugly out and there were just a bunch of trees anyway. Ocean Shores isn’t at all like I thought it would be. I was picturing something like Venice Beach with waterfront sidewalks, cool shops and weird people to look at. It’s kind of like a strip mall that happens to have an ocean a block away from where all the stores are. Maybe there’s another main road that I missed. I’ll check tomorrow on the way out.
