Day 18: Russian Gulch to Salt Point Stae Park- 70 miles

Our biggest day of mileage!!! We clocked over 10 hours in the saddle today, but we made it! We experienced the steepest grade on the pacific coast today near Elk, CA and also had a nice tailwind that seemed to push us along at times. Our campsite tonight has a summer camp group of 20 high schoolers camping near us, so it is a little "talkative" to say the least. But I think we will be able to sleep through anything at this point in the day!

We also experienced our first flat tire...ever on a tour. It was bound to happen sometime. It has been over 3,500 miles and was inevitable. But we got it fixed quickly and hit the road again.
