We wake up in a puddle. The tents bottom layer is water proof, which is keeping us from being totally soaked. The water on one side is about 3 inches up on my side. Its been raining all night Lauren tells me and its raining again now. Eventually we decided to get out of the tent, normally we get up around 7am, cook breakfast and make coffee. But today its still raining and its 8am, lets just go I say. We pack in the rain, both of us are getting wet and changing into motorcycle gear in the rain with no shelter and no dry place to stand is a developed skill. But this morning its hard because we haven’t eaten. By the time all the gear is packed, we are wet inside and out. Its slow going to the highway, our visors fog up, and Lauren is cold. Not good, it’s a real trick warming up on the bike. We hit the 101 and its like being in front of a giant blow dryer. I make some cheese joke about blow dryers, as our gear begins to dry in the seemingly warm coastal wind.
The deal was, not making breakfast we had to stop at the first place. We filled up on French toast, eggs , beacon and coffee. Met yet another motorcycle couple, chatted with them a bit and hit the road.
After about 2 hours, we have stopped at the Port Hole on gold beach. I’m having the fish and chips, Yum!

Today started out wet, but got nicer and nicer. We followed the coast the entire way and it was gorgeous! It is fun on the curvy roads going up and down, and the coastline is amazing. 
It is a bit misty in some places, but not too bad. Our campsite tonight is in a state park in Bandon, where apparently there is the nicest part of the Oregon Coast to see. It started raining again tonight, so I think we will try and see it tomorrow. We were able to dry out all of our soaking gear, and so hopefully will not end up in a puddle tomorrow!
