This morning we left earlier to beat the heat. Out of the reservoir we had a little downhill and flat road before we started our 20 mile gradual climb to the summit of Ochoco Pass.
It seem to get hot early today. Riding into Mitchell the wheels seem to stick to the road.
In Mitchell I went directly to the Oregon Motel. Despite the USPS website showing the delivery was made, they did not have my tent poles. Sounds like someone has not picked up mail in the last few days. I was to check back after my lunch to see if someone else (who checks mail) knows anything.
I am really hoping that when they check the mail in the morning they are there. This will already set us back as the PO doesn't open until 8:45am. That is a drag in this heat.

Gotta love small towns! They certainly have their pros and cons. Hopefully all works out with the tent poles. Otherwise you will be either cowboy camping or getting cozy with M&S in their two-person tent :0)
