We woke up to some heavy rain showers this morning, didn’t bode well for a day of sight-seeing. After breakfast I headed out to do some more trailer washing. Today was the turn of the front cap of the trailer, this part takes the brunt of the road kill… flys, bees and other airborne bugs. Unfortunately most of these were collected about 15 months ago and have stuck on pretty well. A mixture of bug remover and fibre-glass cleaner and a lot of elbow grease removed most of it. After cleaning up the front, one side almost got finished plus half the truck. By this time the damp and the wet were making life uncomfortable, so it was deemed the right time to get a nice HOT shower.
After lunch we headed into Arcata to look around the town. At this stage I would be putting in pictures of local buildings and wall murals plus a road mural. Unfortunately the camera was back at the trailer. We may make another trip later in the week when the weather forecast is much better. At least we managed a mile and a half walk and a geo-cache.
Tomorrow should be a little more interesting as we head north to see the giant redwood trees.
