Fort Bragg

I am quite proud of myself today! I woke up, made some coffee and oatmeal, then filled a bowl with hot water and washed my face and my hair and my armpits! All all while looking out at the ocean... I think it was the best shower I’ve ever had :) I brushed and flossed my teeth and even shaved, so I feel alive AND non greasy right now.
I am in Fort Bragg, at yet another Starbucks that puts the ones in Spokane to shame. I awoke at 7:30 to the park ranger knocking on my door. The cost of the campsite last night was $25 and I only had $10 cash on me, so I filled out the registration, put the 10 in the envelope, and a note that I would pay the balance if they would call and give me an address to send it to. Gene was a friendly retired man and woke me up just to tell me not to worry about the difference and glad that I got to enjoy his campground. When he was 27 he owned a ‘61 VW bus that he took around the country, and was happy to see a young guy doing it. From here down to north of L.A. is the largest concentration of VW vans in the nation... Happy days :)
I think I’m going to hit the road and spend some time in Mendocino, so I’m off for now.
