Make for the pass!

I don't think I could have had a better place to get stuck hurting. Cheap, hot showers, phone power, even a bit of an internet signal and the campground host let me have some ice for my knee. I took a little spin around the campground this morning and I think I'll have a go at getting over the next pass to Mitchell. It's just 40 miles and less elevation gain than the last pass. The towns between here and Baker City are pretty small so I may be out of cell reception for a while. Baker City is three to four days off but the T-Mobile fairy may visit John Day which is just two.

Repacking my gear in the warm, dry bathroom then I'm off. Oh yeah, it's raining. One of the other two campers here said it's one of the wettest times he's seen in Oregon. He normally has to start irrigating by the first part of May and he hasn't yet touched his hoses. Awesome.
