Day 22

Today we rode 65 miles from Brookings, OR across the California border
to Elk Prairie Campground in the Redwood National Forest. We had the
longest, steepest climb of the day today over the hills in Cresent
City. This picture is of the vista about halfway down the desecent. It
was an awesome climb, it took over an hour. We had a good Mexican
lunch for fuel before the climb.
I'm hoping to see some elk at this campsite. The redwoods are really
amazing. They are so huge, it almost looks like we are riding through
a CGI forest.

Tomorrow we are headed to Arcata to take the afternoon off, get some
good food and maybe stay in a hotel!! Arcata is a hippie town so it
will be a good place to relax after a tough couple days.
