Day 8

Ummm day 8.
Woke up in my fancy hotel room in Fort Bragg (not really it was only 50 bucks... so eh). And back tracked to Mendocino. I looked for the freaking state park but i couldn't find it. So i zoomed my car to the nearest Presbyterian church, halted, and made a lot of phone calls to family and such. Then i drove, and drove, blah blah blah. And i ended up at this little beach.. I don't know where it was but it was amazing. There was this huge rock and it had oodles of sea life crawlin' all over it. There were also tons and tons of shells and sand dollars. So i snagged a couple of those. Played around and then hopped back in the car and drove. If you havent been on Highway 1, let me tell you... Its the road from hell. Straight up. Its a piece of junk. Junk as in: -Pot holes -20 degree turns -One lane is usable -Construction, and my most favorite, -The people who ride your ass because you would rather live than die, taking that turn at 40 miles an hour. Its so pretty and the views are breath taking, but if your not a good driver... you would probably end up dead. Im not kidding.
So i ended up taking a different way, highway 101, and ended up in this little town called Garberville. I see a subway and i think, "hey self, you drove some horrible terrain today, you should get a BMT for your troubles." And i called some more people and when im talking on the phone in the subway parking lot i see a sign that says... "HERB CONNECTION" with a huge marijuana leaf on it. The first thing that pops into my head is... "holy shit i am so far away from Utah.."
Then i hop back on the highway and go to Humboldt State Park. Driving along this road called "Avenue of Giants". By giants they mean redwood trees. Those suckers are HUGE! I laid on (muddy) ground and looked at them for a tops of 30 minutes. It was the most wonderful thing i have ever done. I cant explane it but having something so huge and taking up so much space around you makes you feel like you are the tiniest thing in the world and you need to move aside. I for serious almost started crying. And no one will get that unless they have seen these trees and were totally alone with no human being around you. It was an exhilarating experience. And i was dumb and didnt camp there.... >:(
So i drove to Arcadia. It is such a piece of shit. Some guy at a motel tried to take all my money because "you are 19" and he needed a 250 dollar security deposit. Umm... fuck you. I was super pissed about it but then why let that shit ruin my awesome day? So i found a KOA, my neighbors are mean and really short with me but whatever they have a swimming pool!!!! ... and they have wifi. this is a new revolution of camping. As Kaise said, "KOA is Roxanne camping" (none of you will get that unless you know Roxanne)
I have 2 % battery on my lap top. Gotta go!
