Dropping down from Manzanita…
…you hit this coastal plain around Rockaway Beach

And though you've seen the shore before this point on the way from seattle
…this is where you finally feel separated from home

It's about 7 PM or so…
(…if you're lucky…)

And you're beginning to wonder where you're going to spend the evening

In a room?  It's mid-August - how busy is it on this highway
…how much competition will I find

Or will it be a night under the stars
…will I find a campsite

I shoulda planned this better
ahwell, it always works out

A few miles curve by.

goddammit, I should of planned better…
…next time I will

Uh-huh.
