Our first 1000+ hill was a heart starter, I struggled most of the day being hung ovee from a great meal with Michael & Donna the previous night - we also celebrated Gilly's birthday all be it 2 days early.
This was the day of our first Redwoods - big or what. We stopped at Trees of Mystery and learnt all about them - worth the stop. It was just a few miles further to Klamath - a small town in the Yaruk Indian Reservation. We were given bad local advice about camping and ended up in a motel. Fed in a small town bar - great food but obviously the no smoking laws dp not apply on Indian land.
Another 1000 footer through big rewoods with the intention of camping at Patricks Point - stopped at Orick and picked up supplies and we were accosted by a lady who wanted to know about purple sprouting broccoli - very odd and when she left us she thanked for keeping the purple sprouting alive!! The more folk we meet the odder they get. Just like the lady at the campsite we wanted to stay at - we were knackered but she said she had no sites. It looked half empty and said the site 4 miles along the road should have some. Is it Hilly asked Pat - no she replied. It was the hilliest 4 miles we had ridden all day. Still we campedunder towering redwoods - great. We also saw our first Elks.
Pat has new gloves - keeps showing them off - he like a little kid!!
