Day 9: Lincoln City to Astoria, Oregon

I slept good again and didn't start waking up until 7am. I heard heavy clanking around the van. It turned out to be a large pick-up truck with a trailer hauling tents and other supplies for a plant fair at the LC community center by which I was parked. I was thus locked in. To the dogs credit, they didn't bark or cause a rukus. I finally pulled out at 8am, stopped at the local Dutch Brothers Coffee stand, and then headed north to Mount Hebo, a 2307' peak.

National Public Radio kept broadcasting about the latest mass shooting this time it was in Orlando, Florida. Twenty people were confirmed killed in a gay bar, but an hour later it was raised to 50 dead (!!!) with the shooter's name as Omar Marteen He singlehandedly killed all those people with an as 0f boxwe Muhammed sault rifle?. All day long the news was about Orlando. Last week it was the death of Boxer Muhammed Ali from pulminary failure due to Parkinson's disease.
