From Monroe to AlseaEugene Super 6 to Alsea Falls, BLM Campground - about 40 miles not quite on, but not entirely off, route. We diverted from the main route in order to experience the sheer freedom of the wandering cyclist. Well, we headed out of Eugene along the cycle path by the river to the north west, then we reached Junction City, then Monroe, then went up a little road to the Alsea Falls (it's a climb, particularly at the start, see the photo), because it looked like a nice place to camp and would mean we could finally reach the coast the next day. On the way out of Eugene, a rather underused machine in an excellent supermarket on the road north out of Eugene put all my digital pictures onto CD (though this turned out not to be a CD that works in any CD player I've yet come across!). Most helpful, but sadly this library doesn't do CDs but they will turn up on here very soon! Camping at Alsea Falls was excellent - it's a sort of primordial forest, with huge stumps of trees, and dripping with rain when we were there. Sadly the weather has worsened. We hadn't planned so well, and so dinner was pretty small. Went to sleep when the light faded.
