Day 47 - August 1 - San Juan, CA

I took off from the hot springs pretty early after seeing a black widow spider next to my tent. I talked to a few people the night before who said it was all flat out of here into Hollister. They were either messing with me or just stupid because it was nothing but hills and it was the least flat surface I've ridden on in a while. It was hot pretty early in the morning but I was starting to get out of the valley and into the coast so it got cooler as I rode. I got into Hollister pretty early and spent the day riding around looking for the fire station. I was in no hurry so I just rode around visiting stores and picking up groceries. A few hours later I found the fire station and got directions to the coast without going on the freeway. They were some pretty crazy directions with a lot of back roads but it didn't take me too far out of the way. I got out of Hollister around five in the afternoon and made my way to San Juan where I figured I'd camp for the night. On the way over I hit some crazy ass head winds which isn't as hard as running into a summit but is almost as frustrating. I made it to San Juan and it was a cool little tourist town but the RV park I was going to camp at was 25 bucks so I just ended up camping in a park in town.
