Following the advice of the campsite host i took a back road to the nearest town of Fort Bragg. The road huggd the beach the whole way and it was a nice experience to be able to do a few miles on a path with no cars. Spend a good few hours in Fort Bragg until after lunchtime, it was the first large town (around 10,000 people) that i had gone through in a good few days so took advantage of the facilities knowing that it was going to be a short enough ride. The ride was pretty strenuous though, one of the toughest days with constant steep hills and pretty much no flat sections for the entire day. Unfortunately the one thing i really wanted to see on the day, the redwood museum, was closed due to the government shutdown. Decided to stay in the commercial campground beside Manchester state park since the park had no showers and sometimes no potable water either, and since i had no fuel for my stove i'd have nothing to drink until some point the next day. The campsite was pretty nice, got to use the hot tub which was much appreciated and two guys staying there invited me over to have a bbq with them, sharing all their food.
