Spent much of the day in the Humbolt Redwoods. Melted a bit in the afternoon. Campground near Leggett in search of bike travelers to talk about routes, success.

Relatively flat ride today. Had many breaks, snacks. The dark snuck up on me today. Rode late to get past town. Avenue of the Giants tomorrow. So dark out here!

Stormy day, didn’t get too far. Visited the Cape Blanco lighthouse, on the westernmost point of Oregon, where the wind was very strong. Now at Humbug Mountain.
