Day 3 ride was from the Dalles to Rooster Rock (Day 3 Map).

Early morning.

L to R me Alyce and my bike

Old Hwy 30.

Sreet vendors

She was proud of her school and took me on a tour.

Cool stop.

Met this lady at rest stop and she dragged me the last 15 miles into camp into a headwind.

Day 2 ride was from Condon to the Dalles (Day 2 Map).

Early on in the ride giant wind mills dominated the landscape

Rest stop was at the bottom of a awesome downhill.

Arid landscape here looks a little like Orange County CA

Deschutes River beside rest stop.
