Day 61 - Ocean Shores, WA - 4210 Miles

I know what you're thinking.

"Their days must be so action packed and full of adventures that Gary can't spare the time to do a blog update."

Well, you would be wrong. The truth is our days are so laid back there is nothing noteworthy enough to bother documenting. The only exception might be the successful completion of my "beer in every bar" quest, but that's about it. I thought that feat might warrant an interview with the local paper, but I was wrong. Now I'm adding bars a little out of town and places that didn't make the original bar list, like the convenience store where I bought a beer to take down to the beach with dinner. I also hear the bowling alley in town has beer so I'll try that as well.

We made a return visit to Seabrook, the Stepford-like town I mentioned about half an hour up the coast. (If you have time to kill, Google "Seabrook Stepford" and you'll see that this is a common comparison). We had a meal (and two beers) at the only bar/restaurant in the village. Two guys at the bar with Seabrook T-shirts made and received cell phone calls. The whole time we were there our phones both showed "no service". Draw your own conclusions. I always feel a little creeped-out there.

Things should get exciting this weekend. Its the Sun and Surf Motorcycle Run. They're expecting over 4000 bikers. Beer, bikes, music, and food. What more could you ask for? I'm trying to get Terry to enter the Biker Babe contest but so far I sense a bit of reluctance. The web site says, "Vendors are stopping at Sun and Surf Motorcycle Run on their way to Sturgis, don't miss your chance to see them!"

I have no idea where these vendors are starting from that we are on the way to Sturgis. In fact, no matter where you start or where you are going, Ocean Shores is out of your way. No matter. I plan on wearing my Sturgis ball cap, my Knuckles Saloon T-shirt from Sturgis, and renting a moped at one of the local places so I fit right in.
