a sweet farewell

what a trip!! a bittersweet, but glorious trip that tom and i will treasure forever! we were a bit worried about the weather as the day before we left it rained(wft!?!?) well it was a light rain but rain nonetheless. we were going rain or shine and hoping for the latter. we woke up to fog and sf was full of dewy wetness. this is what most of the ride through sf and part of marin looked like.

 we stopped at one of our favorite coffee place and had some espresso and my favorite: mexican wedding cookies!

in case you all were wondered what i looked like with my helmet on, super sexy
then about and an hour & a half into the ride the sun came out to play and just in time for the huge hill we had to climb. thanks sun! hehe
this is the way into the park, so so gorgeous! the weather was much nicer then last time which was a bit hard to believe.

 i had to show you guys what gilbert looked like, we kept calling it the vagabond because we had sooo much stuff piled on the back. we really need to get front bags so we aren't so janky while on our next mini bike tour.

we set up camp in the same spot we had last time, yay and set up some food for bob. which worked but damn he is sooo fast!!! we had our camera on us the entire time and he is as quick as lightening!

this is one of my favorite pictures. this picture looks like it came from the 70's
tom found this rock amongst the millions of other rocks, reminded me of wilson from castaway
view of where we spent most of our time this trip
my all time favorite camping buddy <3
brainwaves!!!!!
we headed down to the creek for some sun and drinks. this is basically all we did this weekend but got another ride in on saturday. on our way back from the coast saturday we stopped at a rummage sale and tom bought a little radio. for some reason it worked perfectly when the antenae was on my forehead, i've got some pretty powerful brain waves :)

i'm not sure exactly what i am saying in this picture but i just love it!
the water was a bit cold and i was way to chicken to get in but i loved searching for rocks and looking at all the tiny little fish that nipped at my feet and toes.

this ones for you shannon!
a little bit of us was left behind <3
 we had such a great time and we will surely miss this awesome spot but we will be back even if we have to ninja camp here!
