Jumping Frogs, Part 2

Sunday morning, left late. Brian decided to ride over Rainier with me and then cut off for Portland when we hit the Columbia. Nice ride over the pass, but the rest of the day was somewhat iffy. Howling cross winds, a little cold, then ran out of gas just outside of Madras, OR. My own stupid fault, thought I'd have places to stop and so didn't pull over in Grass Valley. Turns out that was the last gas before Madras and I was about a half mile short. The great thing was that the driver of the car directly behind me called her father who lived right by the road. He assumed I was probably out of gas and brought a little can over. Got me into town. End result, I have stopped for gas when I had only gone about seventy miles a couple times when I wasn't sure what was upcoming.

Camped in Klamath Falls, OR at the KOA. I've stayed there before and they are really pleasant and it is a nice campground.

Bought some soup at Fred Meyer (tired of hotdogs over the fire) and read a little.

Literary Note: I've been reading George W. Bush's "Decision Points". It is well written and informative. He has selected a few of the major decision he had to make as President and written of his thought process and how he came to the decision that he did. I highly recommend it for anyone who has to make major decisions in life or career.
