DIY

I'm getting a bit sick of doing all the work while you lazy buggers just sit on your rapidly-spreading backsides and soak up all my efforts. So, you can write this one yourselves.

The ingredients, as scribbled in my scribbly notebook:
- Took hwy 242 (scenic pass) - v cool. V narrow, winding rd but awesome mtn views & lava fields
- Obs tower @ top built from lava rocks, looked like chess rook. Paths through lava fields
- Sisters busy - car show + sunny saturday = queue out door of ice cream shop
- We -> Bend, to wifi/pizza/laundry then safeway then feral, to same spot
- Different from last time: no snake eggs, no rain, wildflowers, chipmunks, dust, sun = pretty, other campers
- no rain = locals into forest to party
- Noises in night incl twiggy shrub scraping tent + small critters eating & moving round + pine cone fall onto Reaper (= shit selves!). Also trains w horns + shooting + someone with chainsaw + party
DAY 58
- woke: bright sun + barking - woman walking dogs on FS rd near us
- Prepping bikes for ride, noted N's bike brake pads worn = source of horrible noise / no brakes
- J read book, N drove to town, past detours & road closures for bike race, to Hutch's Cycles
- Connor fixed bike & gave trail advice + told: Mon night = Locals' night @ Deschutes Brewery = cheap pints!
- N back to camp, J v relaxed
- Lunch (burritos!) then disc golf using random objs + course (N9:J7)
- Rest + melons
- N rode: Storm King -> Tiddlywinks -> Funner -> Storm King -> COD (80 mins to top, 20 mins to Sno-Park, 2.5hrs tot.). QOTSA, Iron Maiden, Ennio. SK + COD nice, Tiddly & Funner dust-bowls but good bones & still some v good bits
- Back to camp, snacks + dinner then sleep


Have fun!
