Day 158, Wednesday, November 9

Las night was cold but at least it was dry. And, yes, again last night the winds ripped the guy lines holding the tarp out of the ground, waking me up and necessitating reassembly in the middle of a VERY cold night.
I rode from Sequoias to Big Sur today. Paid $4 per gallon to fill up in Big Sur. That’s the most expensive gas I’ve ever bought in my life. I was going to stay in Big Sur state park campground but it turned out to be cheaper and more convenient to stay at a private campground just outside of the park. A damn stray cat walked all over my motorcycle with muddy paws during the night and as though that weren’t enough, it felt it needed to piss all over the side of the motorcycle as well. I’m DEFINITELY not a cat enthusiast and I’m pretty sure bodily harm might have come to that cat had I caught it in the act.
