After a long, 27-mile (new record) day from that rest stop where I’d spent the previous night, CS hosts Jed & JB put me up for the night in Grants Pass. They’d been expecting me for days, and instantly made me feel right at home!
JB recommended I proceed on the Rogue River Hwy the next day– an excellent recommendation which made for a fantastic fall experience away from the freeway. An interviewer from the local newspaper came over for the story before I left the house.
