1 A bit overcast on day one heading up the coast. The view of the road is clear and the pavement is dry so no complaints. We stop for lunch in Gualala after we arrived in Ocean Cove too soon to eat there.	2 Tacos are a bit small but are lovingly made. Will eat here again for sure.	3 Adam got tamales.	4 The menu and the name of the restaurant are here.	5 We arrive at the cabin and the vibe is immediate.	6 Lots of these around.
7 The bees like these.	8 Tire wear on day one. Dirt driveway to the cabin is sketchy.	9 Vestiges of fog just buring off this far inland (about 3-4 miles). Generally pretty cool here.	10 We'll set up tents in this clearing.	11 Zeke arrived the night before.	12 Enough distance away from the snorers? I hope.
13 Adam's new used KTM 950 Adventure. Same vintage as my bike, which is surprising because he keeps telling me I've held onto my bike too long.	14 Zeke's Africa Twin. Way more modern gizmos than my or Adam's ride.	15 The bikers have taken over. [Pardon my finger over the lens.]	16 Old growth tree stump full of mechanical equipment? Stay tuned for more.	17 Lots of these around too.	18 Hawk arrives having taking the long way from Portland. Note the spectators for anyone trying to descend the steep dirt driveway.
19 Secret entrance to the underground bunker created by the previous property owner.	20 Everyone is here now.	21 The property is 13 acres but most of it is this ravine that runs down to the Big River.	22 It is a short ride into town for services. Yay.	23 Your dinner options.	24
25	26	27 Garlicky smell got lots of favorable comments. Execution was good but not amazing.	28 Many varieties of burger were selected.	29 Slugs were abundant. [We are done with the restaurant pictures for now.]	30 Secret storage room in the cabin.
31 We even get to have campfires! This was one thing I really would have missed from our original plan.
