Tour Thoughts and Bits

THUNDER STORMS
We've had to run away from 4 of them already. Solutions thus far:
  1. barn
  2. fairgrounds
  3. library
  4. OR Dept. of Transportation shelter.

GETTING THE HANG OF THINGS
We're STILL trying to get the hang of getting out of camp early so that we can pull into camp early and have that extra hour or two to dawdle or relax-- instead of rushing to make dinner and immediately hitting the sack. The trouble is that EEEEVerything takes longer than you think: cooking, eating, laundering, organizing, planning, grocery shopping and, of course, RIDING.

THE BEST YET
Hwy 26 out of Mitchell to Dayville (John Day River area). I felt swallowed by rock. Of course, I had my camera out to take a picture of this, take a picture of that, then I went 'round the corner and..

oh..

I stopped taking photos. I just had to look.

CURRENTLY
At the wonderful Dayville Community Presbyterian Church, where they have been welcoming cyclists for years. They offer shelter, shower, laundry, kitchen and kind people to look after you. Thank you!!
