Whew. We're back from our weekend road trip up the North Coast (of California). Yeah, I know it seems like we just got started. I'm posting this journal entry out to put a stake in the ground that we got home this evening. Still in my blog backlog are... posts from most of the last 48 hours. 🤣
We did both more and less than I hoped on this trip. Less, in that we didn't get in as much hiking as I'd hoped. Though most of what we did was on various beaches, where hiking on sand— or, in our cases, deep gravel— takes way more effort than it looks.
Also, we packed in 770 miles of driving in 2½ days around those hikes. I knew going into the weekend driving would take a big portion of our time. We drove 245 miles on Friday getting as far as Garberville, 220 more on Saturday going up past Eureka and then back down to the Lost Coast, and 305 today coming home from the Lost Coast with a side trip to Fort Bragg for hiking and beer.
We got home this evening just after 10pm. It's now 11, and I've mostly packed away my stuff and I've taken a shower to clean up and unwind. It'll take a bit longer before I'm ready to settle down for bed... but not too much longer, I hope. Tomorrow's a workday.
