Saying Good-Bye to the Pacific

On my way out. I didn't get to the coast until dark, found some lowly state campground and hit the back. Of course at these campgrounds there are no rangers - this is not the season. So you pay by the honor system.

Makes me wish I didn't have much honor... But I think, for the first time in a long time, I didn't have to pay [extra] for the shower! Ahhh. That's nice.

Some of that eerie silver lining...



The campground bordered the beach, so off I went... The ocean was angry, the wind was raging; it was a bittersweet goodbye.

An old shipwreck, the blustering wind in the grass, and... starlings?

The road out and onward...

Do I look road-weary? Warm, rested and showered! And headed East...
