Day 15 - Klamath, CA to Ferndale, CA - 91.2 miles

The ride today started with a gorgeous stretch through the rolling hills of the Redwood National/State Park where the Elk we saw actually outnumbered the cars. Seeing the Elk after about 10,000 ELK, Elk Crossing, and Elk Next 2 Miles signs was surprisingly not anticlimactic - some were "12 pointers!" We were also treated to our first legitimate bike trail - about a 10 mile winding path through the dunes. These were just a couple of the memorable stretches that the route took us OFF highway 101 today and allowed us to appreciate the ever-changing California landscape.

  1. Watch out for elk hunters and their bow and arrows: saw a documentary the other night...or at least two minutes of it...about elk hunters going after the 12 pointers. If you hear something whizzing through the air, duck.
