Pinnacle NP 2023 - Day 06
I'm writing this the next day so I've probably forgotten
everything we did yesterday already. Like the previous day, we started
by heading west, this time from Santa Rosa, to meet with Highway 1
which runs along the coast and stayed on 1 for most of the day.
Traffic
was very light, the skies were overcast most of the day and the
temperature was fairly cool until 3:00 when it rose farly quickly. It
was misting a little when we left Santa Rosa so we put on rain pants in
the morning and then just left them on the remainder of the day.
The
PacificCoast is interesting, there are lots of pullouts where you can
get close to the ocean and plenty of faciliies at those stops. We also
saw a ton of Highway Patrol officers both in cars and on motorcycles.
Eventually we met with Highway 101 which took us into Garberville where we spent the night.
Before
leaving in the morning I cycled the connector for the logger on and off
multiple times to attempt to clean off the contacts. That seemd to work
because the logger kept working all day.
Tomorrow it's on to the Avenue of the Giants and the Redwoods National Park.
