DAY 82, Fri.,Jul.19. 24.9 mi.day: TOTAL 1687.0

GOODBYE CALIFORNIA - HELLO OREGON! Well, one state down - two more to go. It seems strange not to be in California any longer. And, I suspect that the terrain from here on to Canada will be more like the trails I'm used to back east. For example, I hiked all day today in mostly wooded forests and around long, broad ridges. However, there are many volcanic peaks ahead (which I don't experience on the AT), so I am looking forward to cranking out the 400+ miles across this state. I have so much to be thankful for on this beautiful Saturday in July. God has truly blessed me and I pause to say thank you heavenly father for giving me the opportunity to enjoy your world from this view pont.

I see a heavily populated area off in the distance (assume that is Ashland, OR) so I try my cell and, yes, was able to update this post. However, I missed Shirley (which is always disappointing). Will try to contact her later.
