Highway 1, Westport, Fort Bragg, Van Damme State Park
Left Westport Union Landing Beach State Park at 7:30 am to the little town of Westport and on to Fort Bragg for breakfast. The 101 road here is narrow twisting and hilly, some bigger than others. A roller coaster ride.
At Fort Bragg, I found a very good coffeehouse which I recommend, the Headlands Coffeehouse. Fast WiFi is available but limited plug-in places.
I arrived at the hiker-biker area in the late afternoon. I was the only one at the site. The camp was only one-fifth occupied. It was very serene setting. I noticed that a previous bike camper had left two crystal wine goblets from Slovakia in the bear locker. After washing them, I went around the camp looking for a glass of wine in exchange for the glasses.
I went by an RV where three women were chatting ... showing them the crystal goblets. I asked, "Are you wine drinkers." "Are offering or do you want some wine?" one asked. I explained about wine glasses. Carol, Kathy, and Lynne drone up from Petaluma for a biking and kayaking get-away. Kathy worked at REI and we talked about that a bit. Carol had just made martinis and we exchanged notes on how we make them. Lynne brought out several bottles of wine and a banana slug in a shot glass which she found. The slug had black coloration and was extensively photographed. Lynne also brought me a nice tri-tip steak which she made earlier. It was finished off with chocolate brownie cake. After chatting a while, went back to my tent as darkness fell.
