Catching up on the blog

Jeneca and I are sitting in Bandon Oregon in the sun at the harbor sitting down to lunch at Bandon Fish Market. I ate here in 2002 when I took Jackson to college. It is hard to believe it has been that long ago.

Today we started out from Sunset Bay State Park. The road out of the park is called the seven devils. We climbed up seven hills for 20 miles. We rode the top of coast range. There was not much to see but trees, logged trees, and the next hill. There was a great 2.5 mile drop where the speeds got up to 31 miles an hour.

The camp site last night was very nice. It is amazing that you can camp and have a hot shower for 5 bucks.

Jeneca and I have the camping thing down. It takes 15 minutes to get set up. Breaking down is a little longer as we need to get the joints moving. Today was easier then yesterday.

I finally figured out the sleeping bag Jenny lent me. I firgured I knew how to use a sleeping bag, but the Big Agnes needs instructions. If you do not have a pad to insert in to the bottom you get real cold as there is no down on the bottom. Of course I did not bring the pad. The first night I was really cold, but did not know why until I called home for instructions. Last night was better as I made a pad for the bag.

When we're get the next stop we will update with pictures and thoughts
