Bony ass dias from Frenchglen. Wind howling last night, now lo of 27*. John who runs the old hotel kindly let me set up on the lawn!
Coldest morning yet @ 28*. Frost on the tarp, but I slept warm and cozy. Rode all day until 11:AM before taking tights and all my warmies off. Lucked out in Crane, OR at the highschool. The shoolmaster let me do laundry and take a shower there. I really needed to have clean bike shorts. I cruised on from here to the small store in Buchanon. I topped off all my water bottles here and had a quick snack. I called it a day an hour early, but that worked out good as I was able to sleep in the gravel shed shed again. I walked to the back of the shed and my campsite I had leveled from last fall was still there untouched.

Some of the birds appear to be white faced ibis. Long, downcurved beak is unusual. See: http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/71/_/White-faced_Ibis.aspx
