It was a dry start from our stealth camp in the forest at McKenzie Bridge. The rain started soon after we had consumed a great breakfast at Vida. Eric wanted to get his picture on the wall for finishing 2 logger pancakes that were bigger than his plate. We stopped at our second covered bridge for more pictures. At the Leaburg Dam, Eric and Tim both walked down under to see the foundation. There is no generator at the Dam. The water was being diverted into a raised canal. We pedal by it for about 5 miles then the water was let out down through 2 generators to produce power.
We pedaled through rain along a decent shoulder on 126 to Eugene. There was a lot of traffic so we were happy to find some bike trails in Eugene. We made 2 stops at thrift shops looking for bikes we could take parts off of. No luck there or at a couple of piles of camp remnants that had broken bikes included. The three of us agree that there seems to be more pot stores in Eugene than Starbucks in Seattle. After reaching our hotel, Eric and Tim went to REI, luckliy nearby, and got a derailleur and parts to repair Eric's bike. He currently is taking it out for a spin to see if all is well. Tim is finding us a restaurant within walking distance.
The bike seems to be working and Mexican food at Chula's was great. The homemade corn tortillas were delicious. We are busy drying out clothes in preparation for our last day.
