05/30/2003 Entry: "Eugene OR"
So we're in Eugene, phenominal. For about fifty miles there is nothing except small towns and then bam, welcome to Eugene. Anyways, yesterday was interesting. We spent the evening enjoying the company of the corvallis unicycling club. Talk about intense. They had about fifteen to twenty little kids running circles around us.... On Unicycles. Hats of to them, you guys are awsome. After that we spent the evening at a boy scout camp which was a change for the positive as we didn't have to worry about being poked, prickled, or robbed in the evening. Sadly we have had problems with all of these things in the last couple of days. I want my radio back. Anyways, Eugene is big and I want to enjoy it. More later.
So on our first evening our camp was raided by racoons. Personaly, I lost all of my bread and anything else that smelled like food. Ryan, who is no longer with us, even had the bag containing his cell phone chewed through. My question is what kind of animal would think that a cell phone is food?
The next evening we did pretty well as we got to sleep on a lawn. The night after, however, we awoke to the sight of two of our radios missing and a couple of seat packs opened and rumaged through. Finally the camping spot in grande Ronde had those annoying prickly plants everywhere and they poked throught the tent. Suck.

Hey Guys!! I am doing fine, sleeping long and laying around. It sucks to hear about the radios, but is great to hear about Josh's nice encounter with a family. It seems Oregon is filled with them. I am thinking about rejoining in Wyoming or later but am still undecided. Give me your opinions, other news not posted and everything else.
Thanks
Ryan

Hey Pookie, by which I mean Seager. I'm glad you've found some favorable roosts. Anyway, I've happened across another couple of bikers in whose trip you and your audience may be interested. They're biking from Seattle to Santa Barbara in an effort to raise awareness of modern-day slavery. I don't know if it's kosher to link to them here or not, but I've always been the cutting-edge rebellious sort. Check them out here.

Hey hey hey. Firstly, best of luck to all of you. "Luck" meaning best of weather, lodging,food, donations and friendly women. By "friendly women" . . . . I just mean friendly women. Errr . . . . anyway. Secondly, mr. seager - am thinking of you and hope you are being your most responsible and careful self, while still having a very good time, of course. Hmmmm. That is all. Oh - kidding about that. No - let me know when/where y'all are going to be in Iowa/with RAGBRAI so I/we can come harass/be nice and helpful to you all. That is for serious all. Much love. The End.

After looking at today's pictures I must say I am highly impressed by those little kids.
I'm also pleased that they haved named a school, a center, and a pool after me. I shall have to visit them someday.
