Beautiful Oregon
Entertainment in Halfway, Oregon. The woman played the dulcimer, guitar, harmonica, penny flute, as well as reading journal entries from early settlers on the Oregon Trail.

Met up with Ed and Kathy again (last saw them in Kansas). Kathy sags for Ed, meeting him along his ride. At the top of a tough climb, there she was, with cold drinks for both of us! Ahhhh, what a way to ride.
Oregon scenery . . . always amazing
Had a good night’s sleep at this bike hotel in Mt. Vernon, Oregon.
Leaving Mt. Vernon on my way to Mitchell, Oregon
Once a school?
I wish I knew more about geology to appreciate the amazing landforms.
The power of water to carve out the many canyons.
Coming into Prineville, Oregon
This post got out of order. What follows should be before what’s above!
Just a 50-mile day, but had a 2,500 ft. climb this morning . . . then a meanering slight downhill though the forest.
More pictures . . .
A spurting waterfall along the way.
Always scenic
My friends on the road move about as fast as I do.

Has the effort been worth it for you?
Jack, completely! Every day brings something new . . . gorgeous scenery, interesting towns and little cafes, welcoming people.
I knew you would say that. There is nothing like it.
Go Russ! Go!!!! Almost there!!!!!!
Ken, just weighed myself . . . 131. Is that too much weight to have lost? I’d better continue with the chocolate milk shakes to keep up my energy!
Nice posts. I’m enjoying following your trip. Are you still following the ACA maps?

Hi Kim,
Yes, still following the ACA maps. They are excellent (although some of the little stores, etc., on the maps are closed).
Russ, your fresh batch of pictures and captions are inspiring. Please keep it up even as you pedal towards the close of your great adventure.
Richard, I’ll do that!
