Day #71-Prineville to Sisters, OR 46 miles

Two of the three sisters above.  Relatively easy riding today.  Sisters is at the base of the last serious climb on the Transamerica Trail, McKenzie Pass,  that will be the main event tomorrow.  Today more high desert, filled with the smell of ripe juniper berries.

Finley is back riding with us, although he usually gets out before us in the mornings.  We’re sharing camping and other expenses.  He’s a bit faster than either Steve or I;  and his recumbent goes down hills like a bullet!

We’ll be camping at Creekside Campground in the city park tonight.  They only charge $5 for hiker/biker sites; but they’re going to get me with the pay shower.  It’s 1.00 for 2 minutes!  For that rate it had better be instant hot!

We had a great veggie pizza at Three Creeks Brewery 

There’s a cyclist camping here who is originally from Chicago, Serena, who will attend graduate school at University of Wisconsin in the fall.  More small world stuff!
