Day 17 - Benbow, CA to Mendocino, CA - 75.80 miles
We survived our biggest climb today. While climbing, our thoughts meandered to things better suited for a car trip: seeing the West Coast from a comfortable seat, adventuring along The Lost Coast (an alternate, very hilly, remote route that we chose to bypass), driving through a tree in a car, taking a car on the ferry, and exploring Mendocino. Although we did take advantage of the private hot tub rooms available for rent in Mendocino, once we climbed to our campsite, we were prisoners to the perch and decided seeing more of Mendocino could wait until we drive the coast with Josh or whoever else is interested.

But think of missing the wind in your hair, the fog up your nose, the free wheeling down those hills once you made it up to the tops.
