I woke up to a tent covered in frost and toes that I still couldn't feel. One of my Windows was frosted over. Thankfully the wind died down overnight and the snow stopped. I got up and when I put my riding shoes on, which had been out all night, I was greeted with a surprise. The sun that was shining had warmed them up and they were quite toasty. I proceeded to pack, to one last quick look around town, then headed on. The ride was generally downhill, though I had some decent climbs as well. I made good time as well and was excited to see the wind turbines were not going very much.
Outside of Biggs I had a nice 4 mile downhill coast to the river. I stocked up on water at the gas station and proceeded to the state park. It is $12 cheaper to camp in the Oregon state park than the one across the river in Washington. The only drawback is I have some backtracking to do tomorrow. The great part is the sun has finally come out and I am sitting in the sun getting some color back in my skin and listening to the Deschutes river flow by right next to my campsite.

Wow! So cold for this time of year. I never left my shoes outside my tent even tho they were sometimes "funky". Was worried about critters getting in them. :)
