Perfect day for walking 23 miles--weather has turned cool with the marine layer covering the fields from noon on. My walk was heightened by seeing all the agricultural activities. Everywhere you looked you could see fields being prepared, harvested, sprayed, or just irrigated.
My routing was in error, so I found myself facing a crossing of 101. But even worse, once on the other side I would have had to walk along the freeway some 3 miles. I was squirming. Turns out, the Iranian gas station owner drove me to the RV park I had planned for. No room at the inn! This RV park helped me get room at anther one closer to San Juan Bautista, but at another 5 miles. I should have taken the bike route (129).
The folks here are wonderful--even invited me in for a pasta meal (a first). Here are a few pics of the mission and one of the RV park.
