Frank Mickel has been a close friend of Ryan, my younger brother, since they met in the mid 1990′s. Frank & wife JulieAnn now live a few miles from Woodburn, and they offered to play a support driver role for me for the day: I walked from Canby to Woodburn; they picked me up and took me to their home for the night. The next morning, they dropped me off at the exact point at which I’d left off in Woodburn, on Oregon Hwy 99-E.
