Highlights
- We walked and ran in the cathedral of our lady of redwoods here at the state park, and along beautiful trails through groves and down along the San Lorenzo River.
- We drove south on Highway 1 to check out several potential campground stops. We drove 30 miles to Monterey and picked the Veterans County Park for tomorrow’s destination. We loved the little harbor town of Moss Landing - so much character.
- Ross replaced his recently lost adjustable 8’ tarp poles with a quick stop at REI in Marina, CA. Now we can stand upright under our tarp without feeling like Quasimodo.
Lowlights
- Traffic. Wow. We’ve lived in Bend so long, we’ve forgotten what a traffic jam is.
Observations
- A quick check of local headlines revealed that the traffic jam heading north on Hwy 1 was probably runners returning from today’s Big Sur Marathon.
- Ross needs lots of snacks to sustain him.
