weighing in

the now finds us in the town of bandon. Back out on the coast after a couple of days in roseburg visiting with terry and simon. They cooked meal after delicious meal for us and we both left their place about 4 lbs. heavier then when we came in. We also weighed the gear we were carrying : mattie was carrying 34 lbs (including the fiddle and case) and G had 30lbs or so (with the banjo-uke). matt's bike weighed 34 lbs as well. The ride up the umpqua river on highway 38 was dreamy. A gorgeous river road with almost no traffic on it (and flat to boot) We also got to hike on some of the upper Umpqua river while we were in roseburg.
