Lewis & Clark SP to Cathlamet,WA

9/15/15. I ride frequently with Barbara and Dana. They are from CA and OH. We rode through Toledo,WA, a small town with lots of sculptures and artwork. And guess what another long climb. When we got to the summit, we were told that a bear was in the area so we could not rest. When we descended to Highway 4, we had twenty miles of high traffic road with heavy traffic, and a small shoulder.
