Day Nineteen - Just Like Grandma's

Day Nineteen – Just like Grandma’s

Lincoln City to Florence

Daily Brief

Bob instituted quick changes for the leader which increased our pace, the day went even faster since we ended sooner then we thought after eating at Cathleen’s Kitchen (which was eerily just like eating at a Grandmothers place, just like it advertised)

The Ride

We all met up in the morning at the hotel that Bob, Shaun, and Parry were at. As we started into the ride, Bob started calling out changes every mile so that someone new was leading. This increased our average pace by a sizable amount. It also made the day move by faster.

Moving onwards, we had a late breakfast at around 11:30 AM and then a really late lunch at around 4:45 PM. The late lunch was at a little mom and pop shop called Cathleen’s Kitchen which advertised itself as “just like Grandma’s place”. Walking inside, it was a little house that had been converted to a restaurant…mostly. Walking back to the bathroom you passed by a washer and dryer, and the rooms in the back still had beds and looked habitable. No wonder it was ‘just like grandma’s place”… it was grandma’s place! ::Gasp::

After the late lunch, we, feeling stuffed, decided we didn’t need to continue on to the planned destination so we re-analyzed the situation and decided to stay in a campsite just south of Florence. At the campsite we ate smores and hot dogs using the fire that Chandler had started. We took hot showers and hit the sack.
