San Francisco - Santa Cruz Heading to Santa Cruz today. The weather is quite overcast again. Along the way we noticed plenty of strawberry fields with lots of pickers and their ponchos. We arrived at the KOA (kampgrounds of America) and settled in nicely. It's quite a relaxing little place with lots of trees and squirrels roaming freely. We lit a fire and had some time to relax.

It took us on an hour and a half ride to Yosemite. Or as mike calls it Yoshimite. The lady knew the roads well and zoomed through the winding valley alongside the Merced River.
