Harbor Vista County Park

Woke up this morning to a beautiful day! Most of my 35 mile ride down the 101 ran right next to the water giving me a spectacular view. Even the constant hills could not damper the day.

I took a long lunch at the top of a mountain. Eating what was left of my summer sausage and cheese while looking down at waves crashing on the rocks and the Hecta head lighthouse in the distance.

An older man stopped to take a picture (of the view) and told me he didn't envy me. I am assuming he was talking about the crazy hills I had to climb. I responded by saying it was pretty awesome, but awesome didn't even begin to describe what I felt after working so hard to get to that spot.

Went through my first tunnel. Thankfully it wasn't too long. Even though there is a button bikers push before entering, it is still scary.

My view from the top of a hill showed a much flatter terrain for my ride tomorrow. That will be extremely nice!

Before I got to my campsite near hecta beach. I stopped at a convenient store and the owner, a nice asian lady, used to live near my mother in Dover, TN. What a small world.

Tonight I get to fall asleep under a beautiful night sky listening to the faint sound of ocean waves and tug boats tooting their horns on the harbor.

I also passed the 200 mile mark!!!!Read more
