Thursday the 29th - A Very Long Day

Dad rode to Hurst Castle today. He went to the visitor’s center and paid $10 for a piece of pizza and an orange juice. The campground he was planning on staying in was right next to it. It was suppose to be a short ride that day. He ended up going to the next campground in Oceano, making his days mileage 115. Another reason why the ride was long was because he got lost in one of the cities right before Oceana. He traveled down several roads, did a lot of backtracking, and then finally found his way. He ended up gaining a day because he rode to the campground he was suppose to be at the next day.

The Hiker/Biker part of Oceano State Park was right on the beach. Dad didn’t want to take his bike out on the sand or set up his tent in the wind, so he headed back to the main campground. It would cost him $25 to stay at a regular site. The lady told him that a biker had arrived earlier and might want to share his site with him and split the price. Dad found the biker and was delighted to find his fellow biker from Seattle. Dad shared the camp site with him.
Dad walked down the street to have dinner at the Mexican restaurant. He said it was really really good.
