Day Six and Sick of Rain
Day 6 of our trip. This means we have not gone without rain in 6 days. I guess we just have to keep telling ourselves that the rain is the reason for Oregon's beauty that we have fallen in love with. But 6 days of rain was all we could handle this morning. The intentions of a 6am rise turned into a 3:30pm departure from the campsite. Let's just say we took our first Dwayne's Day early. If you are asking yourself what that means...you can't afford it. So we at least got about 15 miles in when we all very well could have stayed in the tent at The Salmon River Evergreen campground all day. This gives us time to do some much needed laundry and give our legs a day to get refreshed to do a long day of pedaling tomorrow, possibly all the way to Eugene. We hope to update you guys with more pictures, but the iPhones and iPad aren't very friendly with that process. We have a lot of them on Facebook though so be sure to check that. We love to hear from you guys so keep it coming!

You guys need a place to stay in Corvallis? Our couch is presently occupied, but you could camp in the back yard or in the hammock on the back porch and use the kitchen/shower, etcetera. Give me a call: 541-250-2434 if you need a place.

Don't worry, the rain will end. (And then come back again.) ;-)
ReplyDeleteRegarding camping, remember that most of the Oregon State Parks have hiker/biker sites, sites specifically reserved for folk like you are bike touring. This is regardless whether every single site in the rest of the campground is full. Even if the campground doesn't have a hiker/biker site and is full, the camp host/ranger should be able to find a spot. This only applies to Oregon State Parks and other public campgrounds. Private ones not so much.
Also, not to nitpick, but the font you guys have chosen isn't exactly the easiest or most pleasurable one to read.
ReplyDeleteMe again. To clarify, when I say "most of the Oregon State Parks have hiker/biker sites", I meant on the coast. Inland, not so much.
