Day 8: Eureka to Garberville, 63 mi

Not as many hills today so we were able to travel more miles. We make good choices on the route and had two short excursions off Hwy. 101. The first went through Scotia--a logging mill community.

The next scenic route was through the redwoods--avenue of the Giants. 

For the first time this trip Sharon had to "pee in the bushes". She was careful to watch for oncoming cars--but was caught by a bicyclist we knew!! He was courteous and cycled past.

We are now 23 miles from the base of Leggett Hill. Rain is predicted for tomorrow--we will wait to decide what to do.
