I had a nice night at the Elk Prairie State Park. I woke up at 7 and the guys from Nanaimo were packing up. As it was a shorter 74 km ride to the KOA campsite near Eureka, I did not feel like rushing. I enjoyed some Starbucks instant coffee and some granola. Then I packed up. I left almost one hour after the guys did.
I saw them leaving a cafe in Orick. I decided that I would also stop at the cafe for a good breakfast to get me going. It was your typical small town Cafe, it had character! But it did have wi-fi...
After breakfast I headed out to Trinidad. I was struggling on the hills. The shorter day still seemed tough. As I approached Trinidad, I saw the two guys from Canada. We ate a nice hearty lunch together. Then we rode on.
Eventually, we made it to the Koa Campground before Eureka. After setting up the tent, I started doing some laundry. That is where I am right now. They have a hot tub and pool, and tonight they have an ice cream social. Yum!
According to the bicycling the Pacific Coast book that I am following, I will be riding with them for another day, before they go down 101 to Napa Valley. I go down Highway 1 which follows the coast. I met some girls from Kelowna riding to San Francisco, maybe I will team up with them.
