87 miles today. The joints are doing much better, just in time for the big climbs through Red Wood National Forrest. It was good to be back on the road solo again. I stopped in Crescent City for a coffee across from a tattoo/piercing joint; so I went in and pierced my nose like the cow I had passed up the road. It's a little bit ridiculous. People definitely look at me different now. Funny how metal can do that.
At the summit of largest climb of the day (1200ft) I ran into the boys from DC who took a short-cut in one of their friends cars. I ended up riding with them another forty miles to camp tonight. Here we ran into some hipsters from SF riding up to Alaska and some students from BYU. Chat around the camp fire. I think Ill ride with the BYU guys tomorrow.

I hope it was your septum you pierced. Then you could look like a bull. Or like you have metal boogers.
