Carving our way to Corvallis

Greetings from Corvallis!Today we were treated to a beautiful breakfast of cereal and fruit salad. We started out on our 91 mile ride, all a little chilly from the cool Portland morning. For our first rest stop we discovered the magic of what David Walder (our director of logistics) described as the best fast food- Burgerville! After chowing down on onion rings made from the Walla Walla sweet onions we'd been blessed enough to taste earlier in our travels, we continued on the road.As the day warmed up, we were presented with something we haven't seen in quite a few states- towns throughout the entire day! Between all the members of the team, we visited a plethora of fruit stands, gas stations, family businesses, and (of course!) another Burgerville.Huge thanks to the First United Methodist Church in Corvallis for housing us for the night! Without help from the communities, we couldn't possibly do what we do.Thanks for the continued support!The Illini 4000
