Another day....another broken spoke.

Had another broken spoke on the same (rear) wheel a few miles short of Coos Bay. Decided the tires needed to be replaced so found a bike shop that fixed the spoke at no charge and sold me a couple of new but clearance priced tires that are more made for touring. Hope that solves the problem. Spent two days getting from just south of Florence to Coos Bay. Very frustrating. Still hope to make California sometime on Friday.
