Usual 299, arrive in time to see the school band concert.
Lunch in Willow Creek. Tyler played in the beginning band. The real band and the jazz band (and the steel drum band) were pretty good and had some talented soloists!

Labor day, easy driving on 299. No road repair stops.
I wanted to try a different campground, ended up at Junction City, the BLM site right on the road.
