Today is the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mt Saint Helens.
Today we are getting ready to leave Fortuna. Yesterday we road from Elk Prairie to here. We rode 62 miles. 32 miles were in rain. Riding in the rain is so much fun.
Elk Prairie is supposed to be a place where the wild elk hang out however they were no where to be seen.
The was amazing a few of our favorite hills but mostly towering redwood trees and beautiful views. We rode a trail from Trinidad to Arcata which went along the bluffs where the sea lions were barking to the farm lands where the cows and sheep were roaming.
The most difficult part of the ride was riding on the freeway from Arcata to Eureka. It is difficult riding through on ramps and off ramps. You really need to be alert.
We meet our first southbound travels. The german couple is riding from Seattle to San Diego to Las Vegas to Yellowstone to Seattle. They are talking six months. So far we have meet four going north two from germany and to from Switzerland, an two going south from Germany.
We must be to early for Americans.
I looked at the rain map and it looks like we are home free the rest of the week.

Hang in there. How is the butt? You seem to be making up time. The country should be beautiful but ride very hilly.
