when i left the rest stop outside red bluff i had it in my mind i was going to overnight in winters
i stopped in winters on one of my other road trips and thought it was a really cool town
we arrived there early afternoon and took a walk around blue oak park— i munched on some almonds and a sliced apple— finny took a good long roll in the cool grass
then i just suddenly didn’t feel like figuring out someplace to stay— there are no harvest hosts, hipcamps or boondockers welcome sites near there and i didn’t want to go to a regular campground
i decided to do another long haul and get back to santa cruz— i arrived pretty late and to my dismay a car was blocking the entrance to my home parking area— so i ended up having to find another place to park— but luckily i was in my home turf so that wasn’t super difficult!
it was a pretty warm day but we weren’t the only ones enjoying the park
