Last night was by far the coldest night yet so I couldn't wait to get going. Because no sunlight was making it through the trees for the first while I had to cycle with one hand in my pockets at all times as they were so cold it was pretty painful. Continued through the redwoods for the first part of the day and then back onto the freeway. Had lunch in garberville with a guy from the area who had done some touring themselves. People in California seem a lot more enthusiastic about cycle touring and it's never long before someone comes over for a chat wherever I seem to stop lately which is great. Rest of the day was more of the same, through redwood forest and then back on the freeway repeating over and over. After some tough climbs which took me to nearly 1000 feet I made it to the campsite. Even though this was really in the middle of nowhere there happened to be a bar with outdoor live music just across the road so I took the chance to have a couple of pints and a proper cooked meal just before bed which is a luxury I haven't had in a while.
