Don't forget your tent poles as they are crucial for a temporary shelter especially when the forecast calls for rain. We left Eugene on Tuesday and arrived at Triangle Lake campground 38 miles later. As we were setting up camp we realized we had left our tent poles at Susana's mom's house. We had a bit of rain in Albany so we set up our tent to dry in Eugene. Anyway, Madrecita came to the rescue and delivered our tent poles so we could continue on in relative comfort. She made us promise to take a picture of me putting the tent poles in our bag so here it is:
Today we rode 49 miles to Jessie Honeyman campground in Florence. We kept expecting bigger hills, but to our delight there weren't any. However, there were some long, slow upgrades. Even though it was an easier ride than expected I struggled for the last 10 miles or so. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the crappy sleep I had last night. We also have the pleasure of some wet weather, but that's to be expected on the Oregon coast. However, at the moment we are enjoying a glass of wine in a nice dry bar! Perks of the unemployed.
