Peter Iredale -- So. Jetty

8.1 Mile -- Peter Iredale to So. Jetty & return. Nordic poles, mostly on the beach -- tide out, hard sand. Got "lost" in the woods on the North end, coming up on the jetty. Trail petered out, but side tracked back to the dirt road trail and out to the paved entry road.

There's an equestrian trail from Parking A. -- 4 mi. heads south apparently in the dune grass. On Google Earth it looks really tenuous, poorly established -- like so many "trails" in the dunes. Dune grass hampers the swing on the Nordic poles anyway, so walking in the dunes is work.

Ful hydration pack turned out to have a blocked water tube. I returned it. Now I'm looking for a serious (Camelback) rig. We used the water today in the fanny pack (slung over the shoulder), and could have used some food. The feet got hot, tender. It was a stretch . . .

Looking to get the bicycle out . . . The Schwinn w/ the heavier wheels(36 spoke). I need to get a new battery for the cycle computer, hoping I can figure out how to program it, or find a user manual online.
