Day 5

Crossed the mojave desert, wasn't bad for temperature, but a little windy. Then I crossed through the valley where pretty much all our food comes from. Its tough to be the right temperature all day going from mountains to desert I had to layer up and down in gear a few times. Keith isn't in SF tonight, so I didn't want to be there if he wasn't. I decided I was going to go the scenic route along the coast along the PCH. I headed towards the coast at Cambria and head north... except about 15 miles later the highway was closed, something about the highway falling in to the sea or something inconvenient like that. I had to back track for about a total 120KM, but at least it was a fun route and had views like this. Tomorrow the coast to SF from monterey tonight.
