2nd Day of trip (Florence)

Auntie Donna and Uncle Jeff were nice enough to let me stay at their house in Corvallis, but made this Thanksgiving a memorable one as we went out to a buffet at the three wings(?) casino, which was delicious! Wow, what an upgrade from a peanut butter and jelly in a damp camp. They also treated me with a stay at a comfort inn before my dive into the wilds of the coast. Truly a great gift, as it provided me with extra time to set my packs and bike into a greater efficiency, with time to check weather and my week ahead. I finally feel completely confident in my gear and my bike. Time to go to battle.
