Miles today: 186.
Miles to date: 7018.
The new day brought a new outlook. Instead of rushing back to wine country, I decided instead to head West to the coast to observe the ocean and see if it had any answers on offer. The drive along the Russian River was fantastic. The sun was shining and the top was down.
As I got to the coast, I stumbled upon Goat Rock State Park. The ocean surf was powerful and angry this day, my friends. I stopped and took it all in and it helped me bust through the road trip wall that I had hit yesterday.
I followed the coast South to Bodega Bay and eventually cut back in and gave wine country another try. I hit Napa again, but it still felt too much like Disneyland. One Valley over is Sonoma, which was much better and more to my liking. But I most enjoyed the Russian River Valley wineries. The vibe was more relaxed and far less corporate.
