Because of the washout of hwy 1 south of “Big Sur,” we had to travel inland today to go around that spot. So when we left Moss Landing this morning we headed South East and went through acres and acres of beautiful farmland much of which was being harvested by hundreds of farm workers. Tom stopped to visit them several times and he rode into camp with a head of lettuce and a head of cauliflower both cleaned and wrapped with cellophane that the workers gave to him. Most of the riding was on back roads through farm ground with very little traffic. The temperature also went up as we moved inland and is quite warm as we sit in the shade in camp. Tonight we are camped in King City and tomorrow we head back to the ocean. Cliff had another flat today, I think that is four or five for the trip. I told him that I think it is God punishing him for not being nicer to his big brother. Today was 72 miles of riding. I usually leave with the motorhome and trailer a couple hours after the bikers leave in the morning, pass them in different locations along the route that they have made it to, Cliff and Kathy are the only ones who ride together, get into camp an hour or two ahead, get registered, parked, and set up. I have been getting in a lot of reading and writing not riding my bike.
