Today we're pretty well whipped -- 75 miles with 6800 feet of climbing.
BUT we were tremendously lucky tonight! We thought for sure we were going to be stealth camping at the side of the road somewhere but an online addendum to our maps reported that camping was sometimes available at Buck Mountain Ranch just outside of Prospect. We called up and as things eventually developed not only are we staying here on their beautiful property but we were given run of their brand new barn apartment! Thanks so much Anna Maria and Gus!! :)
Tomorrow is another big day as we climb all the way up to Crater Lake, ride around about a third of the rim, and then ride on another good bit before stopping for the night.

p.s. very nice roads today even if they were super climb-a-rific -- the least traffic we've ever experienced.
