nothing like a good road trip to the northwest for the soul

sweet oasis on the drive home... shade and a clear cold mountain stream....last camp before the final push home....with a great trout dinner to celebrate a good trip...
look at that red meat......yummmmm trout from Oregon....Cody and Sally wait patiently for their trout skins....
Enjoying the hot springs by Mammoth California....Great Break from Driving....We make it a point to make the journey as good as the destination....
The arm bike works allot better then trying to crutch walk through mud...
Thanks to our friends in Oakridge Oregon and the Willamette Mountain Mercantile for putting on a great race the fat 55....Eugene's first race and it was a good one...it even had its own Fugitive at large in the forest that was captured by law enforcement the night of the race on the race course...I think it should be renamed the fugitive 55.....
