So it is raining. Not real rain, but that grey West Coast drizzle. This does not bode well for the start of this trip. Maybe it means I will get all the bad wether out of the way early. I will put my bike together today and see if I can fill the tires with the little hand pump I have. If not then I will need to buy a new one I think.
And I picked up some bear mace just in case. I think I am going to manufacture a bear mace and call it “El Dante bear Salsa”
