historic district and then to the Victorian town of Ferndale and the
Humbolt County Fair. The fair was your classics fair with 4H
livestock, crafts and of course people watching. Ferndale was a great
small town with lots of neat little shops. I was told the town was
renovated for the Jim Carey movie Majestic. Leaving town was a
fascinating cemetery with family plots demarked by low cement walls.
That, combined with the steep hillside made for a very unique
setting. The miles then glided by with a strong tailwind all the way
to the Avenue of the Giants- awesome ride and great organic fruit
stands dotted the route .
Settled into camp with JP and a new mate, Ben from Devon, England .
Ben went east to west starting in Virginia then thru the mid west,
Yellowstone, Montana, Idaho and into Florence OR. He is ending his
trip in SF. Fine young man just starting out in life!
Just as I was firing up my stove for diner, a car pulled into our
campsite and I was half expecting the people to say we were in their
spot when Jack and Sharon Horn stepped out to greet me! Jack and I
biked from Idaho to South Dakota over Six years ago and have not seen
each other since, although we have tried to hookup. Jack and Sharon
have been following my blog and with few emails figured they could
find me- they did and we had a terrific diner at a local winery called
Riverbend Cellars. Great wine, food and friends. Thanks Sharon and
Jack - best suprise of this crazy adventure.
I 'm sending photos seperately, since file size is limted.
