Day 3: August 1st

Woke up and headed north in more crazy fog. We stopped in Mendocino Headlands Park and ate on some cliffs overlooking a few coves and rocky areas in the ocean. Then we headed up the coast on the 1, stopping here and there for some views. Definitely the most insane road we’ve ever been on, and maybe the most insane scenery we’ve ever seen. It’s incredible.
Once we got to the Lost Coast where the 1 is directed inland, we ended up seeing an awesome river to jump in. we hung out here and swam for a bit. It was much hotter just inland a tad bit, and the water felt awesome. Then we ate lunch in Garberville, and decided on where to go camp for the night. We drove in to the lost coast area, via very wind-ey roads and about 4 miles on a dirt road. We camped at Tolkan camp which was just car camping, but actually really nice. (9) sites total I think, and each one is secluded from the other with little barriers of trees in between. You self register and it’s only 8 bucks. We hiked a for a short while on one of the trails right at the campground. There’s some awesome looking mountain biking trails through here too. We then made an awesome fire and cooked dinner and fell asleep.
