Interesting Timing

A few things i should have mentioned before:One of the first things I did when I reached Fallon NV (oh so long ago) was drop my trailer. I'm just using my brothers packpack to haul most of my weight. It's a tough way to roll, but meh, I'm pulling through. I ended up staying for almost a week in Sacramento. Jared and Sierra made things almost too comfortable for me, it was really nice. Jared let me work with him for a day and that helped me quite a bit. Zane called me while i was staying with them and told me he was renting a car to get home (Failure!) I declined his offer to pick me up, though I have to say i was very tempted.
I got my head full of stars and figured a University could help take all my problems away. I went to Sacramento State and tried to find some help. I found an entertaining psych professer but he couldn't help me much and i shortly after got caught up in another party. It was great at first, classical music, wine, cute girls ahh good stuff. There were more drinks later and things didn't quite go my way...I'll just say it was a rough night. Even though I didn't have much luck at the University, I decided to head To San Fransisco anyway. The ride was good fun, I rode along a river that ran out to the bay. I rode through farm country, grapes, apples and pears, oh my!
As for San fransisco, well lets just say that Seattle just got beat out as the most beautiful city I've seen. I passed up going to Berkley, which i kind of regret. I decided after Sac State was that if i really want University help, I should finish this ride and get help for my next ride. I still want to talk in public schools. I'm going to try contacting a few when i get to Oregon.
I didn't stay long in San Fran. I had fun while i was there, but I wanted to hit the road as hard as i could. I followed back roads near 101 then fianlly cut across to the coast from from Forestville.
I've always dreamed of being a beach bum, It was everything i'd hoped for, well kinda. I've been blazing a trail up the coast and it has been an amazing ride. I just topped 1000 miles. I'm happy I'm succeeding even while riding alone, but i can really feel the toll the trip has taken on my gear, my bike and myself. I still have more than 400 miles to go, but i just lightened my bag. I'm ready to pick up the pace, I'm ready to get home....Ever onward!
