I left lakeview around 9 towards Silver Lake. The views were awesome and roads were great. A lot of massive pines and tons or greenery. 
About 25 miles in, I saw a nice wide creek in a meadow and thought I’d try my luck with the fly rod. It was an AWESOME spot. 
Next thing I knew, it was 5pm and I hadn’t even thought of where to stay. I ended up making camp right on the river. 
It was a really cold night. There is a fire ban so I couldn’t heat myself up. I woke up to about 30 cows screaming. Cattle have been my least favorite thing about this trip. I packed up and headed towards silver lake. I came across a some awesome backdrops and a tree that blocked my trail. I went around in the sand and it wasn’t a deal breaker. 
I made good time, filled the bike up with fuel around noon and headed towards Crescent, OR. The road for the next half of the day was wild. A LOT of sand and large rocks. 
I then went through a pristine valley on a really nice gravel road that road the hilltops.
After that, the sand intensified. I was on nothing but sand. I aired down my tire to 15psi in the rear and 12psi in the front. I leaned back and pinned the throttle. Sand has honestly become fun to me. The moment I took the sand for granted, I went around a corner at 20 mph and hit a soft sand spot and completely ate sh*t. 
The rest of the ride after this section was very pleasant. I came across an awesome railroad track and some great looking woods. 
I showed up to Crescent at 6 and went straight to the bar to get a beer and WIFI to find a room. There was a 300 mile marathon that weekend and all the rooms were booked. I managed to find a room 20 miles north in Chemult, Or. I got there by 9 and should be out in the morning bright and early!
