Can someone explain to me to geographic/topographic reasons why coastal California is colder than coastal Washington? It's so gray and dreary here. Definitely not conducive to accomplishing things.

I took a really easy 40-mile day yesterday to Manchester State Park about 150 miles north of San Francisco. I'd really like to stay with a Warmshowers host tonight, but I have the tiniest speck of data coverage so I can't load the website to contact anyone. Hopefully, the sun will come out soon and shine some 3G connection speeds on me.

I'd link to it if I could, but if you go back to the first post I ever wrote, there were four accompanying pictures. One of Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone, one of Glacier National Park, one of the Seattle skyline, and one of the Golden Gate Bridge. All four were collected from.various places around the internet and posted before I left. Since then, recapturing those four pictures has become a sort of prize to be won for me. I've collected three so far, though I couldn't find that exact spot in Glacier. One of my few motivations today to keep riding is to collect my final prize: a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. Thank God I didn't include any pictures of the San Diego Zoo or the Mexican border!

I'm off on my second-to-last ride of the trip. 70 miles to Bodega Bay or 90 to Santa Rosa if I'm really feeling it (I'm not). Then to San Francisco the next day and to the airport Saturday morning. I don't have a ride to the airport so if you have friends in San Francisco that would like to wake up early on a Saturday to drive me and my bike there, let me know :).

See ya!
