Wrap Up

Apologies for the lack of posting for the past few days, but we were busy and lacking a cell phone signal with which to log onto the internet.

Monday:
We started out riding North of Bandon at Bullards Beach State Park and made it only about 20 miles where once again the skies opened and once again felt the need to soak us. Therefore, we stopped at Langois, had some awesome hot dogs with the homemade honey mustard, got stared at by the 'rustic' locals, and promptly clambered back into the Pilot for the trip down to Gold Beach. Once there we confirmed our reservation for the jet boats and found a Yurt to stay in (inclement weather, once again).

Tuesday:
This day consisted mainly of the Jet Boat ride up the Rogue River. It was an awesome trip where we encountered a great deal of interesting wildlife and various fishing locals. The only complaint issued from Liz: "I want to go faster and go over more of the rapids". After the ride, we drove down into the redwood forests of northern California and stayed the night there. We didn't get any riding in due to the lateness in the day.

Wednesday:
We only rode a short 8 mile section through the best part of the redwoods earlier in the morning and then drove back to the Bay Area. The short bike ride was great because it was a slightly sloping downhill grade that meant no pedaling and a good pace to view the trees from. We stopped at David and Kays' house on the way back to see their new animal additions (both very cute) and to eat some pizza. After that we returned back to the apartment and unloaded.

Thursday:
Dad and me are driving home. The valley sucks.

End Note: Good trip. Not as much riding as we wanted, but thats how it goes. Great Scenery.
