Sunday 4/29 Day 9
Today was a lazy morning. Nothing is better than waking up in a tent rolling over grabbing a book and reading for a out an hour. Then I moved outside the tent and blogged it up. I found an easier way to type. I type all my. Logs in notepad now and then copy it over to blogger so I'm able to type with the iPod sideways. For breakfast I had Some new sweet Quaker oats flavored edition. Makes eating oats so much more enjoyable. I didn't start moving till about ten where I rode the last five miles into the city of Dayton where I waited for Garrette. She drove past me.... I guess she thought I was a homeless person again. But once she came back for me we ended up heading south to the Umatilla national forest!

Very beautiful area!! We drove a ways into the park and ran into a bit of snow, and back tracked to a pretty decent camping spot. We set up camp and ended up going for a little hike which ended up over looking the valley. Oh so pretty. It was here the attacks started happening. No not grizzlies or wolves but tics. They came from all directions and i had about four on me and Garrette had just as many. Thankfully no one became a carrier. It was nice because they were not around our camp ground because it was to cold.

Oh before the bike we had a Jeff and Garrette classic, Bree and crackers, along with home made cookies :). I was surprised there was no raspberry pie. We had a whole pie baking month during march. For dinner we did rice and sausage burritos, tasted pretty good. We Also tried to start a fire which over a span of two hours we were successful, well it was a very tiny fire. The problem was that all the wood was wet so nothing would catch or stay Burning. Garrette was pretty persistent and got a couple logs burning, I gave up after ten minutes haha. Went to sleep to some clear sky's. We had a few worries for bears so we took car of our food. I'm moving into bear country so hopefully I can get indoors more until I get passed glacier national park.
It was great having Garrette come down I had been missing her even though it had only been a week. I get such a warm feeling in my heart when I see how much she does for me and how much she will go out of her way to see me or deal with my weird humor :). I mean she remembered getting mission tortillas because I diss approve of all other types, that's a keeper right there!! I do need to make sure she gets a bike and starts ridding, I think she would really enjoy this sport, and then I would have somebody for the next trip.
