Sep. 17, Day 66: Oregon!

Anthony and I had a bunch of flats today. I think 6 between the two of us. There was some little gnome running around and letting the air out of our tires apparently. Still, the flats didn’t hold us back from the border. Oregon. We’re finally here.

Nyssa was our first stop and we just got a quick Gatorade, I fixed a flat, then we continued on our way to Vale, Oregon.

When we got into Vale, we went to the Sheriff’s office so they could check our IDs to let us camp in the town park. They also made us bag lunches. Nice folks!

We pitched our tents in a pavilion in the town park and ate our bagged lunches. We also made good use of the park swings. It was a good day.
