After a day of agony that continued some into the night, Sharla woke up to no pain. She was worried it would set in at any moment but it didn't. We praised God all day for answered prayer. We went up and down hills for 14 miles until we reached a point when we had to make a decision. Do we stop there at a campground at 700' in elevation or do we go on and conquer the highest mountain on our journey--2000' in elevation. My leg was doing good so we went on and conquered that mountain. We were stopping every 1/2 mile on the way up. Later we had a 750' hill to climb which was also tough since it was steeper in parts. After being inland for the last few days, we left Highway 101 and are now on Highway 1 which headed to the beach. We had some sunny, warmer days but now we're back in clouds and fog. We stopped after putting in 41 miles at Westport Union Landing State Beach. We are up on a bluff with the ocean right below us. We will go to sleep hearing the waves. Another milestone today was the completion of 1000 miles of our journey. We accomplished this in 27 days which included 3 rest days so our average is about 43 miles on days we ride.
