Christian and I stuck together on the most difficult climb after leaving Crescent City, through the first of the Redwood trees. These trees are majestic. It was rewarding to coast down the hill after the climb. We stopped in Klamath on an indian reservation where we bought $5 sub sandwhiches. The natives were drinking tall-boys at the side of the gas station. We left Klamath for another large climb, and coasted downhill through more majestic Redwoods where we stopped to enjoy them and take some photographs before joining Matt, Alan and Lee at our camp site. Shannon and Colleen pulled into camp at sunset and it was our first night in four nights that we were alcohol-free. Alan told some bear stories, we ate dinner, and toasted with our marshmallows. We were all exhausted from the two harsh climbs and slept soundly, even without any beer ; )
It's morning now, and we have not yet begun to ride. I just decided (on the spot) after some talk with the x-smokers of the group that I will become one myself. I crumpled my 2 remaining cigarettes and tossed the pack in the fire pit and vowed to be finished. I don't have the money to spend on any more smokes.
Cheers
