Wednesday – A really long day!

Today was a long day for Dad. He had planned to stay at a campground, but once he got there he decided it wasn’t safe. It was really scary and he just couldn’t stay there. It was a large field of grass that hadn’t been mowed in a long time. The only structure was a school bus with a vwagon bus welded on top of it. It was painted blue. There wasn’t a host in sight. He ended up riding to the next campground making this a 91 mile day. He ended up at a camp ground called Steel Water Cove. It was really windy so it was hard setting up his tent.

A very cool part of his trip was when he stopped in the town of Mendocino . All the buildings where historical and there were dozens of cool shops. He talked to a few old ladies and they recommend that he try the local bakery. He had a blackberry something. He couldn’t remember what it was, but it was really good.

He met a couple from London (going to Tijuana). They were staying at a bed and breakfast. He liked talking to them. The road through this part of the trip was very challenging and he was grateful for his past experience. The roads were steep and it was very very windy. He went up one of the steepest roads he has ever been on with all his gear. He said it was unreal. Once he got to the top, he stopped to look around. A nice guy from Norway was right behind him. They talked for a little while. Dad really liked him. He was a really nice guy.
