1993---Cycling pacific coast bicycle route, north to south.

[Westinghouse]

Sunday August 22nd 1993 at 9:25 a.m. Now in Denny's in crescent City for coffee. Just got here. The weather is gray, foggy, cool. Cycled South on 101. An Itasca motorhome came way too close. Saw it turned right into crescent City harbor district. Followed it in and told the jerks about it. Cycled long long steep hill. Foggy visibility maybe 200 or 300 ft max. Narrow path made it treacherous. The weather cleared around 11:30 for a while. In del Norte Coast redwood State Park. Big trees, long downhill to level area along a beach. Stopped at the beach and farther along at a rest area near a pond. Put on more aspercreme. Time now 3:00 p.m. I am at the Klamath salmon festival. Just had a big meal and re-watered my bottles. Sunny blue warm with wind from the north. I have another major climb just up the road. So what was that the festival. Chainsaw competition, Indian traditional dance, food stands, handicrafts. Plenty of Indians. The road over the hill is no cycling route. Whoever set it aside as such had a peculiar sense of humor. Elk prairie Road is my next alternate route over the hill coming up.

Sounds like a challenging but scenic ride! Enjoy the festival and stay safe on those hills ahead.
