Uneventful

October 25

Headed out around 12, leaving Arcata behind and went on my way towards Eureka. Eureka wasn't exactly exciting, and I took a bike route to avoid the city. I stopped on the side of the road to fix a problem with my breaks and had a crazy lady preach hatred of police for 2 minutes and then curse at me as I rode off. My first real loon on the trip. Another visit to my bike shop, yay, and on my way again. The ride's fabulous, through farmland and lots of cows who I moo at.

My intended campsite is too far for me to get to by nightfall, plus the pathway's through a redwood forest which i really don't want to miss, so I ask a man named Keith, who's out in his yard, if i can sleep out front and he offers me the greatest hospitality.
