My neighbor, Tebor, serving his country, and some tasty eggs from our chickens at 4 o'clock in the morning.
 

Organic eggs donated by (left to right) Bella, Mitt, & Goldy, members of the covert ChickensAgainstTorture based in Eugene.
Spokeschicken Bella says "Only birdbrains use torture!"
"Worms, not weapons" is their motto.
 
 

Dave Tschoepy and Lane Anderson at breakfast on day 1.
 
 

Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, bacon and coffee! Always popular with military folks, even the peaceful ones!

Lots of us put air in our tires this morning, and I think all the other mornings too.

We were up before sun up. Tempratures were expected to reach nearly 100 degrees today and we were forced to make early
starts to beat the heat. Proper hydration of our bodies was very much on our minds. The heat was a serious problem for us.
Can anybody say "Global Warming"?
