Day 5- All day in one place, that's a change
We made it to Oregon City last night(6/12/10). We arrived after 9:30 but with no one at home, so with both of us dwindling and hungry, and parked the camper in the driveway and went to look for something to eat. When our cousins returned from Zoe's graduation, we were welcomed into their home. Room was found for us in their house which was full of family that came in for Zoe's big day. In the morning we got to see their mini farm outside. Horses, llamas, chickens, ducks, and goats enjoy the pastures and the milk is enjoyed in many ways. We got a tour of Portland and the surrounding areas from Aaron, so many bikes. As many of you know, Portland is one of, if not the, best city to bike in. One thing we didn't think of when planning our trip, how do we get through cities? We figured out how to get through Portland and it looks like the best way will be to ride on a converted railway. We also looked at our maps more in-depth, there are a lot more turns when we zoomed in as opposed to seeing the whole days ride on one page. I think we'll be ok, though there may be times when we have to ride on dirt roads because it's the only non-highway road for portions. Nana got in today and is staying withcousin Ann Michelle and Pete Lord, so now we're only missing two of our crew. Maybe we'll get on our bikes tomorrow.
