I have a strange request for those of you riding the C.O. On day 2 you will ride past the Lane County Sheriff's Forest Work Camp, which ceased operations several years ago. Just after m.p. 26 on Siuslaw River Rd there is a "Congestion" warning sign to alert folks to its presence. If someone finds himself/herself in the back of a large pack as you pass this sign, I'd love to have a picture of my favorite form of congestion with that sign in the background.

My commute into Eugene used to be along this road and that sign always gave me a chuckle as well as being my halfway home marker. Unfortunately, since there are rarely any other cyclists (or others) there when I ride by, so I haven't been able to get that picture.

Have fun, everyone. It looks like perfect weather is in the forecast, at least once you leave the smoke-filled valley behind. Actually, it was still pretty smokey along the Smith River yesterday, but hopefully it will clear up soon.
