ERIN

Hiker Biker camp-sites are a West Coast Thing. I’d never heard of them before but almost every park has a site set aside for people arriving on foot or on bicycles. They cost about $5, there are no reservations, and they accommodate as many people as necessary. Parks that have been booked a year in advance still make room for us—which is awesome. Its also totally essential—sometimes the only option if we don’t have enough water to wild camp….or if we're desperate for a shower (which is almost all the time). You might have noticed that we’ve been posting a lot of other cyclists recently and it’s because we spend the evenings with fellow pedalers riding the same popular route down this very pretty part of the country. Its fun to swap stories and little tricks and see how everyone else does things. We spent a really nice evening with Erin + Gordon, drinking beer and sitting around a fire surrounded by giant Redwoods.
