Day: 93 What Are We Going To Do? That was the question of the day. Aaron and I had bought food yesterday for a breakfast and lunch picnic today, so food was the least of our worries. We had the whole day to fill so we decided to do some hiking after breakfast. We hiked [...]
Day: 92 I woke Aaron up about an hour or so after I woke up, had some leftover pitas and peanut butter, we paid for another night at the campground, then decided to head up to Monterey to go to the aquarium. After a beautiful/hilly (cringe!) drive north for thirty miles we arrived in Monterey. [...]
Day: 91 I got out of my sleeping bag excited today (but freezing cold, easily my coldest night yet), Aaron was on his way up to spend three nights with me; and to tell the truth the absolute loneliness of this trip is really getting to me. It’s not like the European alone, where there [...]
Day: 90 Stumbling into the Lime Kiln campground just after one o’clock, six hours (& 41 miles) after leaving San Simion this morning and riding Moanahh up and down PCH where the Santa Lucia Range meets the ocean. When I got here I found that they have no Hike and Bike area, disappointed I shelled [...]
Day: 89 Now this entire trip I have been staying in sites in the California campground system reserved for people who either Hike in or Bike in. The cheap price ($2-$5) per night is a way for the state parks to encourage this type of travel, in some areas (mostly populated areas like Pismo and [...]
Day: 88 I heard Charity and Spooner’s alarm go off at six am and tried to pretend I was asleep while they got up and started getting everything ready for their “Estate Sale”. That lasted about fifteen minutes and I was up, putting away my fold out couch and on my way with Spooner to [...]
Day: 87 I woke up excited today (and a little hungover), about my first couchsurfing experience. I was heading into San Luis Obispo to stay with a couple who told me I could sleep on their couch. Random, but should be an interesting day none the less. I started my day at the Starbucks on [...]
Day: 86 One last look at the map before I left at six AM. I can take the 70 mile route to Pismo via PCH with a 400 foot pass and lots of coastal wind, but only a few hills. Or I can take the 101 (which isn’t really recommended because its dangerous to be [...]
Day: 85 I woke up with the sun this morning (like 5:30) then after a piss, quickly decided to head back to my sleeping bag. I woke up again about an hour later and packed up my camp, loaded my bike and decided to try to make it to Gaviota; which was nearly fifty miles [...]
