Day 8 Addendum: Made it!
Extra bonus post today, with just some pictures. I made it and got the tent setup just before sundown. Showers here are not free, and require quarters (ugh), so no shower tonight. But, the tent is nestled between three redwoods!
It’s warm here too! And the landscape is beautiful. I love biking in the late evening because the shadow of me biking I get to watch while I bike. Goodnight!!
