We finally get some good weather and you guys still haven't moved it? I know all this week its supposed to be in the 90's what more reason do you need to ride? I am sitting in Japan waiting to fly again. Go and ride for me since I can't.

I began my adventure around about 10am, heading north on I-5 to Olympia. After about 130 miles I finally arrived at the park and instantly knew that I was there from looking at the previous pictures.

I almost instantly saw the location that I was supposed to go to. I found the trail, and the log, and the V-tree, and there it was.

I had finally had sprocket in my possession.

I then returned to the freeway and started back down south. After a couple hundred miles, and some food and gas stops I found a new temporary home for the sprocket at a new park 20 miles south of Eugene, Oregon. In a park called Mosby Creek Trailhead.

Go into the park and park in the first spot on the left. Its a small place and hard to miss.

To find the sprockets new location, look toward the front of the bike.

Walk into the gravel lot and go in between the two signs, one has a trash can by it.

walk about 20 feet passed the signs and you will see a little group of trees to your about 10 o-clock. In these trees to the right of the stump and to the left of the big tree is a small group of 3 trees.

at the base of these three trees is where you will find the sprocket.

Then I thought I had to cover it with some grass because it looks kinda like well-used area. So this is what it currently looks like when you are looking at it.
