Headed towards Guachochic July 20
Just a quick note before I break camp. Yesterday started out with more tough climbing, but after 20 or 30 kms, turned into relatively a relatively flat road that followed the ridgetops, which was a much needed bonus. I managed to crank out about 75 kms, which is more than I was hoping for (I would have been happy with 60).
I’m pretty sore this morning, though, and may have a bit of saddle soreness copming back, so I’m planning on taking it easy today, and maybe only going as far as Guachochic. I’m dying for a shower and clean laundry anyway, so it’s all for the best.
It seems that everywhere there’s a decent sized river or stream, there’s also lots of houses and fences, which doesn’t lend itself much to bathing and laundry. I was very tempted to camp in the pastures around Rocheachic - the reminded me a lot of Toulame meadows outside of Yosemite - but the politics involved with making sure I didn’t offend anybody were simply too much to deal with at that point in the day.
I ended up in what I think is a logging area. There was a barbed wire fence, but I can’t find any houses around, so I think it’s ok.
