We successfully went up and down US 101 through Mt. Walker today. It wasn’t too bad, it was about 4 miles of straight uphill, followed by 4 miles of much needed downhill. I can’t think of too many times I’ve felt as great as coming down that mountain going about 30 mph on my bike. Other than that, we had some nice rolling hills today, a few tough, steep uphill climbs, but a nice ride for the most part. We had 28 miles to the next campsite, so we decided to stop just past the 40 mile mark. It’s a nice, well maintained campground, almost looks like El Dorado Park in Long Beach, but with bigger trees, more insects, and a beach across the highway. We got in by 5pm today, so we had some time to relax, eat peacefully, and setup camp without rushing. Again, no pictures today, I’ll do my best to take some tomorrow.
