Hello Everyone, Well, here I am at Camp 21, back at my old camp with the Jagels in Eugene, Oregon. I didn't trek today but rode about 100 miles from Waldport back to Eugene and went almost to midnight before settling down into my sleeping bag. My foot was more swollen this morning, painful, and …

Hello Everyone, Here I am at Camp 20, the Alsea Resort, Waldport, Oregon. I trekked 23.09 miles today and it was a bit of a challenge. I went to sleep last night with an overcast sky and woke up in the middle of the night with rain pouring so loud it woke me up. My …

Canada Day 12
Hello Everyone, Well, I made it to Camp 12, which is about 17 miles outside of Eugene. I trekked 16.75 miles today and probably would have gone further if not for an about two hour distraction. Actually a great distraction! I am camp off of the highway, and always, had a hard time finding a …

Hello Everyone, Well, I am still at Camp 9, which I'll call Camp 10 now. Didn't trek today and stayed put because the rain and a few other related issues. It rained hard all last night and lightly into the late morning to about ten or eleven. Weather forecast was for no rain in the …
