Slept awesome, packed up, then drove north along CA-1. Such a cool road! It was like they plopped central Wisconsin along a rocky coastline...and instead of cow shit, it smells like Eucalyptus trees! Phenomenal!
Stopped randomly in Mendocino, CA, just to check it out, but...it was buzzing with activity: a parade was scheduled for noon. Grabbed a big coffee and milled around 'til parade time. I'm a sucker for small town parades, so it was fun take it in...all the while my mom was back in our small hometown of Eveleth, MN, for their parade!
Afterward, drove north to 101, then farther north to Humboldt County. Had a beer at Eel River, ate Subway, had ice cream in Ferndale, then drove 15mi south on the "Lost Coast Highway" to some of the most barren coastline in the lower US. Thought I'd be lucky enough to have last night's weather, but when I got to "the beach" it was windy as shit! Like sustained 20mph, gusts to 40.
Slept in my truck bed again (truck facing the wind), but it was so loud and disruptive all night I finally just got into my cab.
Pretty good day...
