It was a miraculous day. Here we are at dawn in our dash to Sacramento Amtrak. and we arrived 13 hours later to Skyline campgrounds in Napa Valley. Upon arriving to a dry desert at Fairfield CA. We biked for 12 miles in the heat and traffic from that point, The lunch was fabulous. The temperature at 96degrees F. We became disoriented to the exit to Skyline camp grounds and pushed our bikes up a rocky trail for the last of 50 miles that day. Praising God for our resilience and absence of fear.
After a lot of debate and advice from locals, we decided to take Highway 29 from Yountville. Arriving in Yountville was very easy in that we had a bike trail for 15 miles from our exit (a road) from Skyline. The 29 has a very wide bike lane. Here you can see Sophie checking to make certain David is following.
Our arrival to Bothe Napa State Park gave us five days of rest. We spent a lot of time on the trails of one of northern California's few redwood forests. The first thing one has to do in rest is laundry. Monday we went to the Laundry, bike shop for our tires which were blowing tubes, Ace hardware and good food.
Sophie enjoys treats at all times. We stopped at St Helena for a root beer float at an original A&W restaurant. The staff presented Sophie with whipped cream and dog treats. Very popular.
