Nov 20, 2009 - Legget to Fort Bragg - Back on Highway 1


Highway 1, California coast, near Westport


Stop at Fort Bragg Cyclery


Earlier this year, I spent a couple of weeks in California working as a volunteer for the Tour of California. When I arrived for the Prologue in Sacramento, the California Legislature was sequestered in the capitol building trying to pass a budget....some of them were sleeping there.  Here I am in California 10 months later, and the state's flat broke.  Some of the State Parks we've encountered have been closed indefinitely, others are  partially closed or offering "reduced services".....But even with the current budget cuts, the hike-in/bike-in sites that are open have been awesome.  Five bucks gets you a site and a picnic table - coin operated showers are another 50 cents for 5 minutes of hot (usually) water.
