I did it again: Better time, better average speed, and the first two 100km were both under 5 hrs each. The first 4:20 and the next one 4:55. The last one did me in, though. After dark fell, it got me more confused (maybe a calorie deficit, too). I was convinced we'd missed a turn, and we went back only to find that that way was dirt. The cue sheet didn't mention a road name change. I'm guessing that that cost half an hour. Did get in at 11:25. That's long after my 10:00 desired end, but stuff does happen.
Got more pictures, lingered at rests less, we had a tailwind most of the day. Only approaching Timber Rd in the Gales Creek Rd and then along the Little Nestucket over Sourgrass summit and into Grand Ronde.
I was looking forward to a repeat Mocha at the coffee shop next to the bar on Bridge St. The bar was pretty busy, but the Coffee shop had changed hands, and were closed on weekends.
