Day 49: Cee to Finisterre

Mileage: 10+ miles (we both forgot to restart our Garmins at one point)
Elevation gain: 1,368+ feet (Garmin oopsie was during an incline)
Elevation loss: 1,245 feet
Weather: Sunny and warm; breezy at times
Total mileage: 597.5 feet + 2 miles back to hotel. Can I call this 600 miles?!
2025 mileage: 194 miles + 2 miles = 196 miles
