Mendocino

Hi well it is beautiful in Mendocino
not a hugh town - no laundrymat but the lovely guys at the visitor center managed to find us a spot :-)
We are getting caught up on email and stuff. The cycling has been good weather fair some sun some fog one morning with some rain but the bikes and our body's are behaving. There are some very cool vistas of the n california coast as we have all seen the photos but I have to pinch myself to remind me we are here. Actually there is usually another hill to remind me. The drivers are pretty courteous the road is narrow and winding so it can be hair raising. Last night we camped at Van Dame state park just south of Mendocino it is as most spots in the trees very damp tons of moss kind of not realistic to dry out stuff but the tent keeps us warm and dry.
We are going inland tomorrow down hwy 128 through some wine country headed to Santo Rosa where we will catch a bus to get to SF on the 25th.
The most significant thing for me it the different smells the arbutus trees and the pines mixed in with the salty moist smells.
