Jenner to Samuel Taylor State Park, California: 53 miles
Soo drove us from Bodega Bay to Jenner. Half way there, we realized that Jordan forgot his bike shoes so we had to go back to the hotel. This put Jordan in another teenage funk for most of the ride. He is too hard on himself. I just need ride a bit ahead of him (can't do that on the hill climbs, however) so his mood does not affect mine.
At Bodega Bay we turn inland and the temperature increases significantly, then drops again as ride along Tomale Bay and increases as we ride away from the water. We arrived to our campsite in the early afternoon. It was hot, felt like the mid-90's. Fortunately, there was a creek adjacent to our campsite in the shade. I put my camp chair in the creek and soaked my feet and legs while Martin explored the creek banks. Soo and Jordan just snoozed at the campsite.
Tomorrow is our last day. I'm excited and sad at the same time. Except for the logistics of packing and unpacking the van everyday and the pain in my legs, I could easily keep going to San Diego if we had the time.
