We last left our heroes at a breakfast joint in groveland. Let’s review their accomplishments since then:
\n* They rode the crazy roller coaster ride that is Ward’s ferry road: insane steep winding downhill, a swim in the river next to the graffiti bridge, then a grueling climb back up the other side
\n* Left Morgan behind in Sonora to get some bike repairs done
\n* Swam through caves in natural bridges state park – attempted to free camp there, but the locals weren’t having it
\n* Slept in a field in vallecito, then spent the morning plucking sticker seeds off of everything
\n* Had the best breakfast burritos at grounds in the town of Murphys
\n* Drank Apple cider and ate donuts and fritters at a roadside stand
\n* Were reunited with Morgan off the bus in Arnold
\n* Swam, played music, and ate a watermelon for lunch at white pines park
\n* Hiked through a grove of giant Sequoia at big trees state park <\/p>\n
What a couple of days! Tomorrow, we aim for the double passes of Pacific grade and ebbets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
