I figured out how to take a “shower” with the water pump. Mac put
the tandem together and we rode down the hill to town. We tried the
bicycle/pedestrian trail and it's great. We also found the community
gardens. The house hunting has gone like this: I call the numbers
on the cell phone and find out more information or leave a message.
Sometimes the landlord says to come over right now to see it and we jump
on the tandem and ride there with me navigating.
The house of the day is a duplex with a small yard, hardwood floors,
and lots of windows. Its right behind the laundromat, and near the city
library and bicycle trail. We refer to it as the red brick house.
Another bonus of the red brick house is that it is near Avalanche Pizza,
where we had dinner. In some sort of pizza competition, they won “Best
Pizza in the U.S.A.” and we could agree on that.
We made it back up the hill to the State Park about dusk. Yes there
are hills here, some almost as steep as California Street in Arcata. The
state park is about 7 miles from town and we rode a total of 25 miles today.
The weather seemed better, or maybe we’re getting used to it. Its a
strange sensation to always be in minimal clothing and not get cold. It feels like a jungle here with all of the bird noises. The
fireflies are fun to watch. Mac is teaching himself the trees in our
camp.
