Up the Pacific Coast Day 7 Wednesday September 12, 2018

Today starts in Eureka, California
And finishes in San Jose, California

.

Places Visited Along The Way, Photos, and Notes
Today was the last day of my shortened trip
No more people to visit, no more new sites to see
So I was interested in just heading home
I departed Eureka a little after 8:00
I wanted to gas up, but in the south end of town
there are only two chances,  I missed one and the other was closed
It was overcast and pretty cold, mid 50's

Even as the overcast gave way to a little sun
it was still pretty cold, low 60's
My tank still had gas from fueling up yesterday
just before Garberville, the little "feed me" light came on
I stopped and fueled up knowing I would have to again
Today was a mad dash for home, so I did not stop much
Garberfille, the first stop was after a 60+ mile segment
In Ukiah, there are two opportunities for ABCs points,
Gunnink`s Harley-Davidson  for a HD dealer's point
and Mendocino County Complex for an "M" county point
I was delighted to find an In-n-Out Burger place in Ukiah
and so I had lunch

There was a couple there Tim and Cindy on a nice HD
who had come in from the Sacramento area today
they were thinking of heading over to the coast, Hwy-1
I stopped and gassed up in Novato for my final run home
The Golden Gate Bridge showed a bright, sunny face today

Unlike the foggy facade it had shown earlier on my way north, Day 1
Home at last.  It took several hours for me to settle
down from the rigors of the road
All in all, not the ride I had envisioned and planned
due to weather in Washington and fires in northern California.

But, it was a great ride with many really enjoyable portions
Ridden miles for the day 321

The Route Today
