'''Plan B'''

=Route=
[https://ridewithgps.com/routes/34161146 route plan] <- we need to modify to make sure we take smaller roads whenever it makes sense to do so.

=Schedule=

==Sat== 
Home -> abandoned campground near Brown Creek Campground (75 mi, 2500 ft)

* Seattle to Fauntleroy (14.4 mi via Alki Beach trail)

* Southworth to Brown Creek Campground: 60 mi, 2150 ft

Note: Brown Creek Campground's last day of the season is 9/20.

* Breakfast: home

==Sun==
Brown Creek Campground -> Coho Campground (53.5 mi, 2400 ft)

Option to stay in a yurt at the campground. Another option is to go all the way to Willaby Campground (~83 miles/3300ft).

Note: We could check out [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vance_Creek_Bridge Vance Creek Bridge]; bring locks and lock the bikes at the trailhead?

* Dinner: camp food

==Mon== 
Coho Campground -> [https://www.campsitephotos.com/campground/wa/south-beach/ South Beach Campground] (65 mi, 1750 ft) 

South Beach and [https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232464/availability Kalaloch Campground] are both on the water but they are popular. SB is walk-ins only and Kalaloch takes reservations but all are filled? Not clear from the website what happens after the peak season (Sep 16) but nothing is reservable until next year. {{todo}} Call Kalaloch to see if it's now all walk-ins, the campground is closed for the season, or all sites are taken.

There seems to be a commercial campsite/lodge there too? [https://www.thekalalochlodge.com/stay/group-campsite Kalaloch Lodge] {{todo}}: call the gov to confirm whether their campsites are closed/walk-ins only now. If the gov campsites are closed, let's reserve a group site at this lodge?

If nothing is available at South Beach or Kalaloch when we get there, we will need to bike 22 more miles to [https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234016 Cottonwood Campground]. Around there, there are a few campsites and they should be FCFS but check. These sites are not on the water.

The next beach campsite is Mora Campground, which is also reservable but maybe the peak season is over and the campground is closed?

* Breakfast: camp food 
* Lunch: pick up at Northshore Grocery?
* Dinner: camp food
