Climb 4,300 ft
Last night was a cold night. The temperature was only in the low 50's, but the wind just made it feel so cold. The tent did shelter us from the wind, but it gets dark here at 7:30 and that makes a long evening when you need to get in the tent at 7:30. Another thing that cold weather does is it drops the dew point, so that in the morning your tent is very wet. Probably mostly from the humidity coming from me breathing in here all night. Consequently, I had to pack up a went tent this morning.
It doesn't take it too long to dry out once we arrive in our next campground. The riding today was so much different from yesterday, it felt we were in a new state. We didn't see any agriculture, but the views of vistas from the mountains leading into the Pacific were just beautiful. I don't imagine that the pictures I will include will to much justice. The terrain was some difficult riding. It was just up and down all day long, hence the feet in climbing. It seemed I was going downhill at 25 or 30 mph for three minutes and then climbing the next hill for 15. I am quite beat tonight.
There really isn't too much to write about tonight. It was pretty much just the scenic coastal highway. We are camped at this state park that is sitting underneath Highway 1 above us. We have a stream beside our camp and the waves of the Pacific rolling in. I hope it makes for good background sound to sleep.
We don't have any wifi or cell service, so I will try and stop somewhere tomorrow to send this. We are again staying at a campground tomorrow night that may not have access either.
Breakfast this morning with Bill from Texas, Simon from Toronto, Buddy from California and Mike also from California. All great people. I have found that I am still kind of young one.
Should have left this out.
You can see how the road runs along the coast in the background. It doesn't much look like it, but it is really climbing.
Sur Naval Base.
Where we are camped with the highway above. Goodnight.
