Day 52 - August 6 - Kirk Creek Campground, CA

I have heard from many people that I needed to visit Kirk Creek which was about thirty miles from the park I was at. It was cold and wet in the morning as usual but I was about to make it to a cafe at the park and have coffee and warm up inside while I waited for it to clear up outside. It's nice to not be rushed and be able to take my time in the mornings now. I would like to get to an actual town sometime soon though, there's just a few gas stations out here with no real food selection and really high prices. I have enough granola bars for the time being though. It did clear up and I made my way for Kirk Creek. On the way I passed up a group of six cyclists that were traveling with a van carrying all of their gear which I though was funny. They were cool though and we stopped to talk for a bit. We both camped at the same place the night before but they left a while before me and after twenty five miles they quit for the day and loaded up their gear in the van and left for their next campsite.

I got to Kirk Creek and didn't know what to expect. It was just a small flat campground with no trees but it was right on the edge of a cliff and the view in the picture was about ten feet from where I was sleeping. There was a path down to the beach which had a couple of really cool rock formations right next to the beach. It was an awesome place to stop for the day and had an amazing view the entire day. At night, the sunset was really nice and I took way too many pictures. I could get used to living out here, but for now I have to keep moving on.
