Slept pretty well last night. Did wake up in the middle of the night for a bathroom trip which is always fun. As I lay there trying to fall back to sleep I started worrying I wouldn’t. I eventually did and woke up a few hours later to start the…

One nice thing about a hotel stay is there are usually restaurants within walking distance. That held true with last night’s hotel. I scoped out breakfast joints last night and there were two options. I am planning on staying at the aame hotel on the return trip north so I…
With today being such a big day I wanted to get an early start, but I wasn’t going to set an alarm. I first woke up around 3:00 needing to use the bathroom. The moon was out and boy was it bright, almost didn’t need a light. I was thrilled…
Love me a nice rest day, but with no food in camp I had to make a trip into town. I used the park’s WiFi to find the nearest Starbucks and created a new route in Garmin Connect. When I set off to leave I wanted to time it where…
Considering what a pain yesterday was, I was expecting today to be more of the same. It took a bit to get everything sitting right but once it was there it turned into one of those days where I could have rode forever. Originally, the plan was to take a…
I was up way too late last night for no good reason and I was feeling it today. I woke up around 6:30 after finally falling to sleep around 1:00. One of the disadvantages of staying in a hotel is that you can get distracted with stupid stuff like TV…
Another early day, but back along the coast. First woke up around 4:30, but managed to fall back to sleep until 5:00. I rolled out of camp around 7:00. I had to make a stop in Cambria for some more breakfast food. I didn’t bring anything for breakfast back to…

Despite my misgivings about last night’s campground, it was pretty this morning. Caught the sun rising for the first time this trip, and while I was eating breakfast I spotted two deer walking down the hill from me. I woke up just before sunrise around 5:30 and started getting ready.…
Woke up around 5:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep. I really wanted a nice sit down breakfast, but all the local places opened at 8:00. The neighborhood Denny’s opened at 7:00. I honestly thought of hanging around until 7:00 and having Denny’s before leaving town. Eventually I got anxious…
