Bike Tour Days 8 & 9

Corvallis to Willamette Mission State Park, 49 miles, 1047 elevation
  Somewhat cooler today but still too hot.  The Willamette Mission SP is way out there, close to the Wheatland Ferry, if you know where that is. Campsites are hot and dry but only hikers, paddlers (from Willamette River), and bikers can camp at this state park.  Otherwise, it's day use only.  Many miles of hiking trails bordered by hop vines and fruit trees. Apparently a world class, competitive disk course here.  Most of the people I encountered were there for the disk throwing. Water faucet at campsite, thankfully.  I left at daybreak, heading back to start, for 48 miles more. 
  Total distance on the tour, about 405 miles.  Garmin recorded a high temperature one day at 107.      Highlights - camping in the cemetery and the fresh peaches. Lowlight - heat and heavy traffic.
  Stay tuned for the next adventure.
