This is the first chance I've had to get on a computer since starting this odysee down the coast! Thought I'd have more time, but 60+ miles a day with 50+ pounds in the bike trailer is a lot of effort, and my right knee has been bugging me since the trip started.I took this photo yesterday of Arch Rock in southern Oregon, close to the town of Brookings where I am right now. Yesterday was gorgeous. Long day but great weather, strong wind blowing me south for most of the day. 73 miles, my biggest day yet.
After Joni joined us for a full day of riding on the 4th, which was lots of fun and great to have the company, 
Kirk left, on the afternoon of the 5th, with Joni and Wendy who had come down from SEattle to party and drive him back. That night I didn't make it to Humbug Mountain, my planned destination, so at 8:40 pm I found a promising dirt road off 101, biked down it and made camp on a patch of grass by the road. A pickup drove by 3 times early in the morning but didn't seem to mind my presence. I was gone by 8:30 am.

My body needs it after yesterday, and for tomorrow, which is 60 miles with two hills of nearly 1500 foot climbs. Lots more to say in the remaining 12 minutes. Let's see if I can just post a couple more photos.
