IMG 9277  This much of the handle left. Surely it would have been kicked if Adam hadn't gone home early, and if Hawk hadn't brought some bourbon. IMG 9278  Not the craziest around. IMG 9279  It's like this around here. IMG 9280  We can keep an eye on our bikes from inside the Homestyle Cafe. IMG 9281 IMG 9282
IMG 9283  One biscuit with gravy for me. About what my stomach can handle at an early breakfast hour. IMG 9284  Hot links were the special. IMG 9285 IMG 9286  Been here many times in the Sheet Iron 300 days. IMG 9287  Top up now. Should make it all the way home on one tank. IMG 9288  Seems to still be averaging about 43mpg. Loaded or unloaded. Ride it hard or gently. It doesn't seem to matter.
IMG 9289  Time to pack up the tent. Had to shake a couple of dozen earwigs out of the rain cover before rolling it up. Barf. IMG 9290  Time to load all the gear back on the bike. IMG 9291  Zeke will remain the rest of the week. IMG 9292  Fleece blanket, laptop, sleeping bag and spare helmet visor all fit in here. IMG 9295  The outlet of Elk creek is just below. Good overlook for a shot. IMG 9297  Finally getting the fried fish sandwich I'd been craving for four days.
IMG 9298  Helmet art. IMG 9299  Outdoor seating with an overlook. I like this place when car camping because the deck is dog friendly. IMG 9300  That is a lot of fish. IMG 9301  One last stop at the end of Lucas Valley road before jumping on the 101 and slabbing it the rest of the way home. IMG 9302  Keeping these guys in business.
