Another Day in the Magnificent Redwoods - Day 23

The book said moderately easy day compared to yesterday.  Sharla would term it as moderate but take the word easy out of it as there were lots of moderate hills. We started the day seeing a doe and a couple fawns right by our campsite, then saw a couple bull elk once we got on the road and we continued amongst the magnificent redwoods.  Our bike route directed us off Highway 101 which was nice going through smaller communities without having vehicles buzzing past us. On one of those roads we were along the coast with heavy fog and could barely see the Pacific Ocean but certainly heard a large gathering of sea lions below. At lunch, we stopped in Trinidad at a grocery store & bought a deli sandwich (what a local recommended) and shared a picnic table outside the store with 5 guys from Italy who are seeing our country by car.  Also talked to a young guy touring by bicycle from Germany that stopped at the grocery store. We stopped for the night at a KOA campground close to Eureka. Not as nice as the state parks but did have the advantage of a hot tub.
