24 September 1997 (cloudy on coast; sunny; hot! inland; mileage = 46.9;
Hendy Woods) -- X - I got up very early and put away the B.B. as quietly as
I could. I made oatmeal as the Swiss were getting up. We had a good
breakfast and chatted with some of the other H/B (like the guy, Mel, from
TN). He had his own card. We finally got going at about 9:30. In Ft. Bragg,
I took the Swiss by Larry Spring's "shop." Then I lead the way to the bike
shop and the grocery store that Carolann recommended. After I did some
light shopping, I took off by myself. I had a decent ride to the Navarro
River Redwood Park, where I started lunch. I had just made beans and cheese
when they showed up. Good lunch. Then I lead to the Demo Forest where we
wandered the trail. Afterward, I lead for the remaining miles to Hendy. At
the ranger shack, I did voice mail while the Swiss went on ahead and
started setting up camp. I arrived and set up and got my shower ready. I
cut myself shaving in the shower since I tried to hurry since I was forced
to waste another 50 cents. Now I'm at the picnic table (Swiss-style) and
I'm chatting (I explored their 1st aid kit) and getting ready for dinner. A
nice day compared to yesterday, especially since I didn't feel nauseated
all the time and particularly at the thought of food. Eating was very
helpful today!
