Closing out the week

We got our feedback forms from Bicycle Adventures yesterday. Without hesitation, I checked off the box "Best Vacation Ever."

The trip ended two weeks ago with a short bike ride from Ferndale to Scotia, then an easy walk ("hike") through Humboldt Redwoods, lunch, and the van ride back to Santa Rosa. Six days, nine guests, two tour guides. A van and a trailer. Hotel Healdsburg, Benbow Inn, Carter House Inn, Victorian Inn. About 170 miles of biking. Much wine. Much champagne. Good food. Great weather. Kakaking and hiking. Big trees. Fun.
