What a great ride....out of LaGrande, Oregon to Baker City. We started early with cool 52 degree air. We left very early to avoid heat of the day.

If you ever pass through Haines, OR, visit with Connie Brown. She make a mead potatoe soup at the center of town bar.

Since we arrived so early to Baker City, my reading glasses are still in the gear Trailers. With these new prescribtion sun glasses, I am not able to read the computer screen except at arms length.

Towering wind mills were along today's journey as we climbed 2,500 feet. The down hill decends were incredibly long running out for miles.

Mike, the manager at the local Bi-Mart warned us to purchase special bike tubes to avoid punctures from "goat-heads". Goat-heads break off tumble weeds and pierce tires easily.

We found a library with internet access. Our sweaty bodies fill the air driving the local patrons out of the internet room.

Donations could be made manually by calling Deb. 616-443-1684. She has been very helpful helping others interact with the Seatosea.org website, too.

My strength has dramatically increased in the last several days. This lets me arrive on camp earlier to post content on this blog.

More to follow...join with us and carefully consider ways to help us raise money for those trapped in poverty.
