Day 23: Eureka to Burlington Campground Today's Distance: 50 miles Total Distance: 1,053 miles Woke up today feeling so much better. My eye is still a bit irritated but I feel refreshed and ready to get back on track. The weather was really good all day long so I'm sure I defined my weird tan lines even more. Most of the ride today was spent on the 101. I had some alternate route options but I didn't mind the highway riding today. I like being in the sun and I think 101 was probably my best bet to stay in it. According to my guidebook, at about mile 20 I hit the official halfway point between Vancouver and the Mexican Border. People in their cars must've been weirded out seeing me take a selfie with a mile-marker...if they only knew! I stopped for lunch at Rio Dell and met a couple dudes from Switzerland and Portland hitchhiking their way to Ukiah for a 10-day meditation retreat. Very interesting guys that shared some good travel trips. ...
