Today’s been a rough day. We got less far than we hoped, I felt rushd and my mind focused on things that made moments of bliss fleeting.

Day 18 – Sunset Tour
Today was a mixed day. The mechanic was able to get the oil change done sooner than planned, but we got caught up with some last minute things. We saw the sunset over the ocean, but missed seeing RNSP as we drove through it. We couldn’t camp (the campgrounds were all full), but did 1) see an elk, and 2) find a reasonably priced motel near the park.
Day 18 – Goodbye Oregon, Hello Road
Today we left Corvallis and Oregon for good (until we go back to visit). We started out the day fairly well by getting the oil changed in the car 2 hours before we had scheduled it since the person who had the 8 AM slot didn’t show up on time. Yesterday we had spent some time downtown visiting a couple of places, most notably the Book Bin where we bought more books (because we can’t resist), including an Essentials of Geology textbook for $15 so I can learn more things about rocks, so we just grabbed a bit of breakfast at New Morning Bakery (for those of you in Corvallis, go there and get their hazelnut pancakes with Marionberry syrup, it’s soooooooo good) while the car was worked on and meandered back through downtown Corvallis one last time.
