Not a very remarkable day, except that we were headed for a "layover day," which, in our case, means we pick up whatever we thought we might want when we reached this point (we sent stuff to the Post Office here), have a day to sleep in, re-pack, be tourists, hang out...
We were on state hwy 20 / 126 the whole day, a main road to Bend, so very busy. The shoulders were mainly wide and debris free, but I think we're paying for the excellent day yesterday.
If possible, traffic gives us plenty of room.
As we approached Santiam pass, we rode by a huge burned area that went on for miles. Old burn, new burns... We've had three blue sky days so far...
On busy highways, it's really nice to have the whole lane to use because all the highway debris collects on the shoulder and is hard to avoid at 35 mph.
And we did! As we were nearing the bottom of the descent into Sisters, an old pickup truck with a camper shell passed us, followed by at least a quadra-zillion cars, semis, and RVs! Just when the shoulder was wide and clear again!
We found a place to camp in the city park, which has... FREE SHOWERS!!!
