Once in California, I wrap around Pelican Bay and through Crescent City. Then it's into the Redwoods before returning to the coast north of the Klamath River. Orick, known for its burl art is my stop for the night after a long, 71-mile day, riding solo. It's also my most "suspect" overnight accommodations, the Palm Cafe and Motel. I'm watching the weather report because it's possible I'll catch a littler rain. Wish me luck!
Great coffee and even better people at The Bell & Whistle Coffee House in Brookings
OK, so where's the sun??
With the PCC over, I have to make new friends

Big climb and Hellooo Redwoods
Wow, that was quite a climb. It's also cold today but I still haven't put on the windbreaker (don't want to cover the BikeTheCoast13 jersey), and I sent the toe warmers and long-fingered gloves home yesterday.
The views coming back down out of the redwood when the ocean came into view were spectacular. The following pics don't really do it justice.

Doesn't show the turquoise well
You don't get this high doing the Big Sur coastline
Just a few miles from Klamath
Temporarily back at sea level
Trees of Mystery - Paul Bunyan scared the hell out of my son when he was 3. Time for a little cruise-missle payback, D!
My lunch spot in Klamath, and now I'm physically shivering, so the windbreaker is going on
