As soon as I hopped on my bike I realized I was in no condition to ride. My left knee still ached. Rather than endure the planned 50 mile ride to
Humboldt Redwoods State Park, I opted for a mere 15 mile ride (mostly downhill) to
Richardson Grove State Park.
I arrived before noon and figured I would just have a really really slow day. At the campsite I met two wonderful souls: Ben & Eric. Ben was a fast talking East Coast hippy going into his Junior year in college. Eric was his quieter, good hearted, traveling buddy. They were pro’s at backpacking, hitchhiking, and public transportation. They were super excited about life and nature and made excellent companions for my slow day.
We walked around Richardson Grove. I swam in the river. We had a fire at night.
Relaxing. Hurray for off days.
