Dayville, OR

9/1/11 Thursday

After spending the night in the haunted Town of Mitchell, Vesper and I packed up and headed east towards Dayville on 26. It was over a 7mi. hike to the summit in the Painted Hills area. Over 4300 ft. high. Vesper's knee was stilll acting up, so we took it easy.
Once at the top, we road down the mountain which was gorgeous and easy! This is the part of Touring that I enjoy!
We stoped and had Ramen then continued down to Dayville. We were told by some other cyclists that were headed the opposite direction as us, that there was a Presbyterian Chuch in Dayville that offered to Cyclists a Place to sleep, shower, do laundry, and had a full kitchen available.
After meeting Rose, the keeper of the chuch, we decided to rent a couple of movies at the local store and feel normal for a little while.
Thank God this Church was here!!
