Day 18 (Tues. May 30/06)

San Bruno, CA to Eureka, CA

I had thought we would be in a lot of rush hour traffic leaving San Francisco, but it was all coming in from the north for miles. Pat spotted a sign for a "drive through" tree. Since we didn't have any sights planned for today, it turned out to be a good place to stop and stretch.


Two riders from Alberta
We stopped at the entrance to this park to contemplate using the gravel roads in the park when these 2 young riders rode up. They were on their way back home to Alberta after a 12 day camping trip in Mexico. They had gone through 3 tires, the last one having cost only $40.00 and they changed them their selves. They didn't get very good mileage because they were the knobby dirt bike tires.
