Continuing on Skyline Drive



Our second day of biking was really a test. It rained continuously as we traveled a total of 29 miles. The fog was so thick that we could only see about a hundred feet and that made descents very difficult as we had to guess which way the road would turn next. This made cycling difficult and setting up camp a real challenge. As you can (barely) see, the fog was thick even in out campsite. Since we did not feel like cooking in the rain, we got under the eves of a restroom and cooked our dinner. I had a great meal of tubular steak (hot dogs) and chili. Because of the rain and the fact that we were really tired, I headed for my sleeping bag by about 8:30 p.m. It rained most of the night and was still drizzling as we got up the next morning to ride. Still, this has been a great trip!
