My Summary of the State of Oregon
Amazing! At the US Bicentennial they created and official Oregon Coast bicycle route, and widened the shoulders in these areas. The terrain was great, the temperatures perfect, and drivers very courteous (despite an abundance of RVs). The route snaked along the rugged coast and through quiet floodplains skirted by forested hills. There were no gigantic clearcut areas as in Washington. The state parks charged 4 dollars a night which I was happy to pay compared to the gouging experienced in Washington. Logging trucks were few and far between, and best of all, I met a bunch of nice people riding bikes so we had lots of stories to tell and food to share. I really look forward to visiting Oregon again in the future.
Oh yeah, by my preliminary calculations I have done over 1700km/s so far this trip. There are way more to go though!
I will try my best to upload my photos of Oregon when I get into Eureka, California (I am in Crescent City California right now, the gateway to this very long state.)

Charlie, Dan and I got your message about the broken spoke. We hope you're OK and that you're back on the road soon. We are staying tonight at the Eureka KOA--you must avoid this campground at all costs!!! Tomorrow we will go to Weott or Myers Flat. Hope to see you.
