Here's the last day's post. http://stonehog.com/2015/06/11/oregon-outback-2015-day-5/
In summary, this is a great, humbling route that really shows the beauty and remoteness available to us in the Northwest. I can see doing rides like this in several areas across Oregon or Washington (to say nothing of other large empty western states), and this route made me start looking at maps in a different light. Places like "Horse Heaven", "Fern Hollow", "Buckskin Canyon" - man they are just calling out to me! I thought I had to go to Utah to get into this kind of country, but it's much closer... Mixed terrain rides are really rewarding - you can go way out there and get to places most drivers never venture to. It's not easy to ride most of a day on gravel, but I didn't find it to be more difficult than a typical randonneuring ride, and felt much more relaxed due to the fact that we could just sort of camp wherever or whenever the mood struck.
