Psychedelic Bob's and The Party that Never Ends...

5/29 - near Boonville, Indian Creek Campground (54 miles)
With inspiration and encouragement from the Dr. of Steel, we set out on the beatiful, yet sinister hwy 128 on our way back to the coast. The scenery was verdant and plush... wine country appears to be endless in these parts... but the hills (mountains?), Memorial Day traffic, and lack of shoulder made riding difficult. Yet alas, we survived and were very relieved to stumble across an innocent little Mendicino County campground. Perhaps it was the left over bottle of "Sierra Nevada" waiting at our picnic table, or maybe the alien head with glowing green eyes outside the campground host's [Psychedelic Bob's] RV, or the campground "FULL" sign that kept other potential car campers from entering ... there was some subtle foreshadowing of the night to come. That night we dozed off with peaceful sounds of the river, mere steps from our tent. At around 11pm, Lynyrd Skynyrd entered our dreams, followed by Aerosmith, and even a little hillbilly Gourds playing a rendition of SnoopDog's "Gin & Juice". The party lasted all night long...into the wee hours of the morning.

5/30 - Westport Union Landing State Park (63 miles)
It felt good to return to the coast and hwy 1. Sure, it's a little more breezy and the undulating road makes for an increased heart rate, but the ocean views and smells are still very exciting for us mid-westerners.
