Day 52
Location: Santa Rosa, CA
Miles Driven: 525
Total Miles: 13,151
Taylor had to head out to work early, and my plan was to be a bum for the better part of the morning. I took advantage of the continental breakfast, relaxed for a bit, and then got some exercise before getting ready. I made it a point to shave the beard that had been growing on me for about two weeks, and man, that took a long time. Thanks again to Taylor for letting me treat his hotel like my own.
Around 1PM I was on the road and making my way north along Highways 101/1 along the coast. It was a beautiful drive, and I had good views of the blue Pacific.
The only bad thing was I got hit with some overcast skies as the drive went on.
I had underestimated how long it would take to get north via Hwy 1, as at some points you need to travel fairly slow going around the turns. Before I knew it, it was dark, and I wasn’t even close to San Francisco (and the heavy clouds didn’t help). I eventually veered off of Hwy 1 around Monterey, and made a beeline towards Santa Rosa.
In Santa Rosa lives my buddy Kevin, a guy I knew back in college and became friends with thanks to us being assigned to the same project team in a class. Haven’t seen the guy since a reunion with that professor several years ago. So I’ll hang with him for a while, check out San Fran, and enjoy the nice company in Northern CA.
