Day 4- Went for an early breakfast at the marina. Watched the lake and
boats as we had coffee in the bright blue sunshine. Rode on over 2 mountain passes toward the California coast. Found a road that was newly paved, only one lane up over a mountain that was twisty and lonely. Only met 2 bikers and 1 truck for 50 miles. Then we fought traffic on a windy highway where the speed limit was 30 and the traffic was doing 30. Mike wanted to open it up around the corners and trim his chicken strips. ( ?) LOL biker talk. After some aggressive riding we reach Crescent City for beers and fresh fish and chips at the pier. While at the pier we were attacked by some very aggressive ? Ground squirrels. Mike was scared they were going to climb up his pant leg, he was kicking toward them to try and scare them away. We saw a sea lion sunning on the beach while we were eating. When out of nowhere an old guy was down on all fours checking out Mikes chicken strips. Then on to the Red Wood forest to camp. It was amazing riding between such huge trees in such a green forest.
FYI chicken strips are the outer edge of the tires that never touch the pavement. Apparently we have only about 1/2 inch and we haven't hit the # 1 California coastal highway. Obviously Joanne hasn't slept on the back of the bike yet!!!
