I wasn’t sure what today would bring in terms of Hurricane Lee. Got an early start with Mickey’s Shuttle Service (Red Sand Tours) who drove me out to the Bakery at Way Mark #19 (CA$ 100 for today and the same for pickup the day before—rather steep, but it was a bad choice of B&B that was the cause!).
So I started the day with a cinnamon roll in my backpack and with my poncho on and a slight drizzle.
The drizzle soon stopped. By midway of the walk, I realized it wasn’t going to rain any more, so I shedded my poncho, but then wind speeds picked up to 13 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 48 mph. Those strong gusts finally made me cut the walk short by a mile. Each strong gust made me stop just to keep my balance. I still managed to cover 16.7 mi (26.7 km).
The Johnson Shore Inn is very isolated, but all services are provided—great dinner so far and about 8 others here with me.
Here are some colorful, interesting sights.
