We decided that we would take Murdoch up on his offer and stay an extra night. The forecast was going to be rainy and the night time temperature was going to drop and be rather chilly. Rainy and cool is not much fun when you have to camp. Tomorrow’s forecast is supposed to be better and with a bit of luck a tail-wind!

Murdoch is a Forestry Fire Fighter, he lives in a beautiful valley and really enjoys travelling. I saw a red-tailed hawk this morning.

Today I cleaned the bikes, Ralf tried to fix the shower for Murdoch that a previous warmshowers guest had broken. We planned our route for the next week and generally had a relaxing day. It rained this morning, the sun came out briefly and the afternoon was very cloudy and overcast.  I am glad we opted to have a rest day.

It is nice to have a relaxing day. Tomorrow, we will be heading to the Big Sur State Park and we will be camping. An early night and an early start tomorrow.  Looking forward to Big Sur and the climbs.
