August 5: Netarts to Yachats
96.4 miles, 14.8 mph
Originally, our day 6 was planned at 91 miles--a fairly intimidating distance--given our earlier days. It turned out to be even longer--due to a strategic error on the part of Mark and myself. Given the distance, however, team palooza did really well. I think everyone felt afterwards they were now confident they could master our 80 mile day average.
Did I mention that some members of team palooza like to obsess over how many and how large the hills we have to climb are? Well, this day we had 3 big climbs with the most intimidating happening first--early in the morning. We bid adieu to the Terimore on a (you guessed it) foggy morning. Not being a breakfast kind of place, we had grabbed some chocolate croissants and bananas from the Tillamook Safeway (breakfast of champions) and scarfed them before starting out.

Our route took us along a local road to the hill leading up to Cape Lookout
