Samuel P Taylor Campground Party

July 22, 2012 So We left Bodega Bay and of course the first thing in the morning was to find a coffee spot. So we found an interesting place where our cute little Barista informed us that not only was she a coffee Barista but also a duck egg washer, and a Bee Keeper. Apparently the organic farm she works for is getting very busy with duck eggs but they do not want to hire anybody else because she is the best handler of these eggs. I guess you are to only handle them 4 times anymore than that they are ruined. Interesting, well she also was a treat to speak to as she was telling us all about Eureka and going to school, she was just working while school was out for the summer. She has a full time love and that is to make Maukasins(sp) that is her true love, so she gave us her card for her aunts company she works for, WindWalkers. For all of you who want a pair. Apparently I was having too much fun being chatty Kathy and Brandon realized the time was ticking so off we left on our bikes. When we arrived at Point Reyes it was a cute but busy town. Brandon should know by now not to send me into a grocery store, so 45 minutes later I came out with lunch. He was a little frustrated but hungry first, then off we rode for the rest of our trip to camp which was 15 more miles. We arrived early and we were able to do a little swimming in the river which was nice and cooling. For the first time in awhile we had a good hot day of riding, no wind aided. We met Glen,Alex, Daniel, Julie, Mike and Sierra. All from the City of San Francisco, who apparently just go out camping for the weekend. It is easier to get a camping spot at the Hiker Biker areas than having a car or trailer, which take a week or even months in advance to get a reservation. It was nice seeing that Ray and Katherine were there and Jaimie continued onto the City. We had a lot of fun talking with everyone and the boys said we could follow them into the City tomorrow, they would graciously show us the way. Of course we were going to take them up on the offer. Before we went to bed we got a disturbing noise outside the tent and my paniers were being attacked by these notorious gangs of Racoons. Brandon scared them away but said they didn't move until he was so close to them, little devils. Off to bed!
