Friday October 11th,
Since the books day was extremely hilly and accounted for about 60 miles we decided to cut it a litte shorter and end up at one of the many campgrounds dotting the final 20 miles of the day. We road by the road we could have taken to Point Arena Lighthouse but decided against it because it went back north and we could only assume it would have added way more hills to our day. We did manage to see it from the distance though. We arrived in Gualala and spent some time picking up some groceries and while we were loading our bikes up again this lady came over and asked where we were staying for the night. We honestly didn't know which campground we were going to end up in so we said 'don't know yet' She then asked 'Do you want to come stay at my place?' We were quite surprised, but immediately accepted. We got directions and turned out we only had to bike another 7 miles or so south. We cooked up a nice pasta for supper (we eat pasta almost every night), talked about my art, and lazed about in their hot tub before hitting the hay in their loft bedroom. Bruce and Lynn's hospitality was greatly appreciated by all of us.
