FDOC Day 11-A Day Without Forward Progress

We have enjoyed our day off. It was nice to sleep a bit later this morning, especially since it was still raining. 

I made a delicious breakfast of sautéed apples over a bed of oats, chia, and hemp cooked cereal, and some hot cocoa. 

We sat around chatting, then noticed it was already after 1:00. We got our acts together, and rode out to Cape Arago. We stopped first at Simpson Reef. 

Sea Lions barking. 



One of these things is not like the others. 

Then we rode out to the Cape. 

The view from the Cape. 

The ocean was quite spectacular!

Can you see the three pelicans?

Riding back, we stopped at Shore Acres. Again, the waves were really crashing. 

We took a walkthrough the botanical garden. 

A little fountain action. 

Bottlebrush

A late bloomer. 

After riding back to the campground, we walked down to the beach. 

Finally some full sun!

Sun going down. 

When we got back to the campsite, we had company! Kate is from England, and has been riding for several months (the last 5 being in South America). I very much enjoyed talking to her. She’ll probably be also going to Humbug Mtn. tomorrow too, so we’ll hopefully see her again. She’s thinking of going back to South America after she finishes in the U.S. I told her I was going to Chile in November. Maybe she’ll also do the Caraterra?

We just have a couple of days left until we reach Brookings. We’ll tag the border, then head home.
