Wait! What’s going on with our numbering system? Well, since we’re going south again, the numbers need to increase. So, we warped forward in time using the magic of the Internet and found out how long it will take for us to get back to Crescent City where we’ll call it a wrap (and rent a car to drive us and our bikes home). Because of that magic (some might call it cheating!), when we increase by one each day, Day #-4 will see us at the Avis counter of the Del Norte County Regional Airport, matching up with our initial 2025 posts.
After returning the rental car, we set off for Auburn, WA. It was a great (though short) day of riding with blue skies, giant clouds, sunshine, and a cool breeze. And, even better, most of our two hours was along car-free trails!
In Auburn, we wandered along Main Street in the historic downtown and stopped at a cute coffee shop, a chocolatier, an axe-throwing entertainment center (which was sadly closed for a private event), and Indian restaurant where we ordered dishes we’d never tried before!
