DATE:  Tues, Sept. 27, 2011

DISTANCE:  58 miles
ALTITUDE:  2,000ft

OUR HEALTH: Bob feeling much better
NARRATIVE:
Today marks three weeks on the road.  We had a beautiful day for a ride, and the traffic on 97 which was so horrible in Washington, was not as bad as we feared.  We only had one pass – towards the end – and there was even a sign (still no view).  Then it was all downhill to Diamond Lake.  Diamond Lake is off our route, tomorrow we have to re-climb the hill we just flew down to get to Crater Lake.
Our room at Diamond Lake Resort is huge with a Jacuzzi tub – super.  However, it has no view of the lake and has no wi-fi in the rooms.
The story of the day, though, is meeting a couple from the Bay Area – they work for Marin Headlands Institute and are riding the Climate Ride!  When we left them they were going to end up with an 80 mile day because Mazama Campground at Crater Lake had closed, and the nearest campground was 20 miles further on.  I hope they made it OK.
