Sunshine at Last - Day 19

Looked out this morning to mostly cloudy skies with some sun but by late morning, it was mostly sunny. This was a pleasant change from 5days of cool &foggy. After a 10 mile ride to Charleston, we encountered the Seven Devils Road.  The road gets its name from 7 major mountainous climbs (up to 500' each some with very steep grades). We did not see any other tourers for most of the day until late afternoon when we met 3 others all going to San Francisco area. One of them, Brian, was going to continue on across the Sierras to Big Pine. We planned on only doing a 40  - 50 mile ride but there were no campgrounds so we ended up doing 60 miles to a commercial RV campground in Port Orford. A very nice, small RV facility with very friendly owners and guests.  It has advantages over State Parks in that it has Internet service, electricity for charging batteries, as well as coffee & muffins in the morning. Saw some nice coastal views. After some challenging climbs on Seven Devils Road, we had a pleasant ride the rest of the day with manageable rolling hills. Ed is amazed that Sharla does 60 miles without complaining. She notes that she would have been complaining a whole lot more if the strenuous climbs had been at the end of the day.
