Day 57 Kirk Creek State Park to Cambria 45 miles

There was a crashing noise outside our tent last night.  Rob went to investigate only to find that the raccoons had knocked our water canister off the table, having managed to open it and tip out our only water! Unbelievable!  We thought they only went for food!  So, no cup of tea or even cup of water before we set off.
Undeterred and unwashed, we packed up and rode 10 miles to the nearest stop for breakfast - great weather again and more stunning views along the Big Sur coastline. However, the weather forecast was not looking good and rain was clearly on the way so we decided to book into a motel in Cambria, near Hearst Castle to avoid a soaking. 
During the day we bumped into Herbie and Laura, Jackie and a couple of others we've met on our travels.  Funny - you build up a sort of bond with these fellow travellers despite having little else in common.  Anyway, really looking forward to getting a proper shower and a comfy bed tonight.  And staying up until 9pm as we have electricity and the wonders of American TV -  late night!
