I also had showers in the second half but also a brief instance of sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was a route I had cycled before. While living in Portland, each year I had cycled my own ride from Seattle to Portland. I also used this route in loops to get to the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US 30 is a direct route with a good shoulder. There is a moderate amount of traffic and today I found the wet road had a lot of mist\/spray from passing trucks. So it wasn&#8217;t the most scenic ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2040\" src=\"http:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145811_1267.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145811_1267.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145811_1267-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145811_1267-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145811_1267-1157x1536.jpg 1157w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Light rain starting in Portland. I made my way down and across the Steele Bridge and then via Naito Parkway via a more industrial area and then on to US 30. The road was good but wet as I headed north. I made a brief stop in Scappoose for brunch. The photo above was taken as I entered St Helens at mile 29. The sun came out briefly and you can even see shadows! The photo is also a good example of the road. Two lanes each way, sometimes a middle turn lane. In the towns, a curb and between towns no curb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2040\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145812_2652.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145812_2652.jpg 2040w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145812_2652-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145812_2652-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145812_2652-1536x1157.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2040px) 100vw, 2040px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signs now for Astoria on the coast.

The sun was shining when I got this photo before lunch. It was raining when I finished lunch but that was one of the last showers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2040\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145815_5270.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145815_5270.jpg 2040w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145815_5270-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145815_5270-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/gone2look4america\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/Resize_20231011_145815_5270-1536x1157.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2040px) 100vw, 2040px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A large paper\/lumber yard. I was passed by log trucks today and some of them turned in here. In the distance is the bridge between Rainier and Longview. There was a two and a half foot shoulder and a lot of traffic but it all worked in crossing the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bridge also crossed between Oregon and Washington. I didn&#8217;t see a Washington sign but was also concentrating on the bridge and traffic behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the bridge a few miles to get to middle of Longview town. It was nice to get a dry place at the end of the ride. Weather forecast is drier the next two days.<\/p>\n\n\n<pre>WP Strava ERROR 403 Forbidden - See full error by adding<br\/><code>define( 'WPSTRAVA_DEBUG', true );<\/code><br\/>to wp-config.php<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today started as a wet ride and so no photos from the first half of the trip.
