Tomorrow, exactly 1 week since my arrival in Arcata, marks my departure for Eugene, OR!
But what did I do in Arcata?
Shea & his "Freelove Circus" accepted me with open arms. I stayed at their legendary "circus house" for the whole week. Here I could relax, shower, cook, scare the locals from the front porch, play board games, etc, etc.
While in town I caught a Freelove Circus show (complete with Samba dance party!), went to the annual Arcata Oyster Festival, met many many wonderful people, earned 46 gypsie points (wow!), went to the beach twice, fell ill for three days to a sickness described by locals as "the humboldt crud," recovered (thankfully), and practiced practiced practiced my circus arts. Thanks to everyone involved in my wonderful stay in beautiful Arcata!
You're up next Eugene!
I leave tomorrow morning. The journey is 350 miles give or take.
ETA Thursday, June 26? I'll update my blog after I arrive and settle in a bit.
Oh, and, don't forget to check out this video I filmed by strapping my camera to my bike on Hwy 1:

Matt,
It's so fun reading your blog. I'm glad you are taking time to entertain us all!
I remember that downhill that you showed on your video. I also remember the Leggett hill...that was a tough one!
I'll be thinking of you on my ride to the landfill tomorrow!
enjoy the trek to Eugene! The library there is cool, the people are cooler!
