Day 17 Eureka to Weott 47 miles(796 miles total)


Canada to Mexico, Day 17: 

We rode 47 miles to Weott (796 miles total). The bad news is that although Pat is feeling better (still not 100 percent, but definitely lots better), not Riley isn't feeling so hot. He was really tired and sluggish all day, which isn't like him at all. Once we hit the campsite at 5:00, he went right to sleep. I don't know if he is just taking a nap (which he hasn't had since he was two), or if he is out for the night, but I feel so bad for him. I hope I'm not next! The good news is that Pat is feeling better, we saw some sun during the second half of our ride, and we rode through the "Avenue of the Giants" (thank God "giants" means Redwood trees and not hills), which was really serene and beautiful. Also, the landscape was pretty flat today, which made for a very bearable ride. Summary of the day: a sick, tired son is bad; a recovering husband, sun, flat landscapes, Avenue of the Giants, camping in the Redwoods, riding past dairy farms that smell like Enumclaw, and wine are good!
