On the Road Again 2020, Northern California Part Eight
July 23 – August 3, 2020 The next day, our last in town, we opted for what we hoped would be a less difficult ride, down to Angels Camp on Highway 4 and then back up Murphy’s Grade Road. This would mostly be the case with a few small exceptions, starting with a rough descent […]
On the Road Again 2020, Northern California Part Seven
July 23 – August 3, 2020 The restaurant at the hotel gets good ratings so it was a simple decision to eat there our first night in town. They had set up a large dining space on an adjacent patio and a grassy area in front of our room, which made for a nice environment […]
On the Road Agai 2020, Northern California Part Six
July 23 – August 3, 2020 The included breakfast at the Best Western the next day was a mixed bag; gone are the days of buffet style dining with make your own waffles, often some egg and protein combo, and lots of other choices (cereal, oatmeal, yoghurt, toast, and suspect quality pastry). Now one queue’s […]

July 23 – August 3, 2020 As we left Garberville not knowing what the day would bring, it’s nice to appreciate now that although a long one, it was quite fun as we traversed the backroads of coastal northern California. Our first stop of the day would be Shelter Cove, twenty-four miles away along twisty […]
On the Road Again 2020, Northern California Part Two
July 23 – August 3, 2020 After a pleasant sleep, a nice gift as the first night back in a tent is usually one filled with tossing and turning as you get used to this different environment, we woke to a warm morning that promised an even warmer afternoon. Our only real plan for the […]
On the Road Again 2020, Northern California Part One
July 23 – August 3 We would spend the summer of Covid-19 pretty much engaging in our normal activities such as reading, watching a bit of video and riding our bikes, for me averaging over 600 miles a month, four to five days a week, helping to stay fit and providing a productive outlet. Jessica, […]
