July 4: Day 52



Better scenery day today, especially as George went through the Ochoco Pass (which was a pretty good hill, but not a problem for mountain goat). Another very hot day and we were done with the ride part by 11:30 am. George saw some really big horn deer (the kind we see in NC) and lot more cows as well. He also saw a big RV that had gone off the road and shoulder down into a gully and needed a crane to get it out. Another example of some people driving big RV’s who are not able to control them. I did some little hikes in the Ochoco National Forest and got to watch part of 4th of July parade of the town of Redmond. George is planning to take tomorrow off (well, make it a very short day of about 19 miles) to check out the area of Sisters, which is suppose to be a really cool town. We did go to another really neat town (so far that's probably the best town we have visit on this trip so far), Bend.

We traveled from Mitchell, OR to Redmond, OR
Total Miles: 65
