Beautiful Prineville, Oregon!

We left from our motel in Camp Shermon at around 11:00 am. We got a late start because we knew we only had about 60 miles today. We were scheduled to have more but we found a place to stay with some very nice people in Prineville, which cut our day short by about 30 or so miles. Tomorrw might be a longggg day since we will have to make up for that.
It is amazing that on the east side of the cascade mountains everything is extremely dry, almost like a desert. On the west side the vegetation is completely different! Every tree is huge! It is much like a rain forest to the west.

(Mountains everywhere!)It could not have been a better day for biking! The whole ride was completely flat. Our only problems today were that Adam and I both got flats, flats are sooo annoying! We took out time and arrived in Prineville at about 5:45 pm.
(Pattt fixing a flat)The house we are staying at is great! Dennis and Kim are very very nice and they made us a really good dinner!

Btw,
According to my calculations, you guys will have completed your first 1,000 miles at a point 15.5 miles past Baker City. You ought to have a little celebration (not that you seem to need much excuse to celebrate! ;) )
