sorry for the disjointed format. i am trying to post from my finicky phone. anyhow, people so far have been pretty fantastic when i come across them, which hasnt been as frequently as i would like, especially since all the other cyclists ive met have been going the other direction finishing their cross country treks. aparently i have chosen the wrong time of year for this. the people in the towns along the way have also been amazing. the town of dayville, oregon puts cyclists up for the night in their church, letting them use the showers, kitchen and laundary for free. it was quite welcome after a long hard day of riding in 100 degree weather in the desert. another lady in ironside, oregon let me sleep in her motor home next to her house during a rather ominous thunderstorm. in general people have been enthusiasti and totally helpful.
