2010 Road Trip – Day 10

I got the last of the camping gear and clothes packed away, said my goodbyes, and headed for Tacoma to meet up with a friend I haven’t seen since I left Rhode Island. The ride back over the Tacoma Narrows bridge was chilly but it was worth it. I got over to Marcia’s Silver Spoon Cafe a little later than I’d planned, but Don stuck around. It was good catching up with him after all that time.

After breakfast I headed south on I-5 down through Washington and in to Oregon. Just south of Eugene I got on OR-58 and headed for the first gas station I saw to top the tank off and walk around for a few. When I pulled in I was right behind Red and Jon Morgan, who I’d planned to meet up with in Chemult. We rode the rest of the way down together, through a couple National Forests, on a very nice winding road. The weather’s gotten chilly again, and once we checked in to the motel we found out that there might be frost tonight. Dinner has been eaten and we’re off to sleep. Tomorrow should see Jon peeling off to get back to California while Red and I continue on in to Nevada…
