What a BLAST!

One week of touring through OR on the most obscure, back-ass roads. This did offer us the most spectacular views, the most incredible scenery and some serious cycling challenges. Like ascending a steep logging road on a fully loaded touring bike in deep gravel. And riding single track on a fully loaded touring bike, and climbing a motorcycle trail, and trying to cross 10 miles of volcanic ash in the form of washboards and finding the steepest paved road in OR (I'm positive of this) and you get the picture.

It also included camping at hot springs and finished at a thermal springs resort. It was ALL worth it.

Here is what it was ORIGINALLY planned to be like.

More later. Feel free to bug me if you want content posted sooner rather than later. If nothing else, it will prove to me that someone is reading this stuff I type...
