Miles 38, Total 744
We have definitively left the lush green of the Redwoods and Washington. The mountains have the typical dry grass you see in California with brush and trees in the valleys and on hillsides. Everywhere we have been going there are signs reminding people of the water shortage and to conserve.
We did ride inland a bit and saw some pretty dry areas. There were dairy barns and cattle along the way and then we came back to Tomales Bay. There seems to be a lot of oyster farming that goes on in the bay. There were shops selling raw oysters and restaurants to order from. I have been a little reluctant in my life to eat oysters and would like to try them again, but no one was interested in stopping for oysters for lunch. That was probably wise.
We did ride through some cool little towns and saw a lot of bicyclists out for a holiday ride (Juneteenth). There were some on a 200 km ride. I don’t think that even sounds fun to me right now.
We are in a little town of Olema. There is nothing here except the campground. We picked up vegetables and stuff to make breakfast for dinner tonight. The Wi-Fi is terrible once again and Brandon is trying to upload his work he did today. It is going slow, but it is going is it just doesn’t bomb out along the way.
The Bay of Bodega
In the distance is the oyster farming beds.
Some of those oysters and clams to be sold.
