Endless Downhill

Tuesday. June 28
Fossil Museum
40 miles. Passed halfway point of Fuat's trip

Breakfast in town. You can screw up hollandaise sauce I found out. Darn!

Laundry. More grub. Probably last decent grocery store for quite a while.

Yesterday we met Dustin and he had biked the Columbia River Gorge eastward and made great time with the wind at his back. He did just a section westward and it was impossible. IMPOSSIBLE! Change of plans. Not doing that. Still working our way diagonally across OR. Still many questions about which way to go.

But I've been loving our route and extra glad we came this way. Today was 40 miles of gradual downhill as we followed the John Day River. And it should have been a joy. But for the HEADWINDS!!!! Worse for Fuat than for me. It hits the upright bike differently. More force.

Tonight we have the best campsite and view ever!!! We're in the area of the John Day Fossil Monuments. Ancient rock formations in every direction! Because we got here after close today, we're camped out in a field next to the gate. First in line tomorrow.

Got some fabulous sunset cloud photos on my good camera. Can't capture that stuff on my iPhone.

But I did get a pic of our tuna sandwiches for dinner. That's orang peppers and napa cabbage on panini bread. Yum!!!
