Day 84 - 28 miles


     I did laundry in the morning and ate breakfast in a common room with some of the neighbors.  I played piano and helped a 16 year old girl with her math homework.
     I said goodbye to Diane and left Paso Robles.  Soon I was in a new climate.  It was dry grassland with rolling hills.  I had a steady headwind and I was only able to go 4 mph.
     I had a nosebleed due to the change in humidity.       
     My trailer tire went flat and then my back tire went flat (my 10th flat).
     It got dark and I hadn’t made much progress.  I felt unenthusiastic about riding further so I found a place to camp in a field near the highway.
     During the night I woke up multiple times and I was cold.  By morning I had put on all my clothes and I was still cold.

The guest room I used in Paso Robles.

I attached some festive halloween balloons to my trailer.

My bloody nose left this mess.

I had a flat tire here.

Night time sets in.
