👉🏼 Oregon terrain isn’t as intense compared to Washington so I was able to increase my daily mileage considerably🏃🏼♂️ Plenty of lava field 🌋 crossings in the central region and an increase of carnivorous mosquitoes 🦟 while skirting ponds in the south. The past few days have seen a noticeable degradation of air quality from the fires burning in the southern Oregon and NorCal areas. Current air quality index levels are not the best in the area but as I push south they appear to improve. My primary planning consideration now is navigating around current and future fire closures 🤔 I need to find locust repellent asap 😆
