First time I've tried this. No time to reserve anything in the San Juans, as it's peak season and it's been a fantastic hot summer this year. So, yesterday I called San Juan County parks to see how walk-in biker camping works at Odlin County Park. This is what I get for being tolerant of riding on the ferry with a backpack. $8 a night. I'm glad I did this. I just rode into Lopez Village and made a dinner reservation at The Bay, an upscale waterfront place I've known for years but never tried. Usually reserved camping on Lopez is about $26/night, when all the "convenience" fees are added. So I reckon I can afford a nice dinner with a glad of wine and aim to be tucked up in my tent by 9pm dark.
I didn't think I'd make it to this bicycling heaven this year, given how unexpectedly and cruelly wretched my life has been since I returned from China in late January. But this place is salve for my broken spirit. May the good moments soon outweigh the bad more each day.
