san louis obisbo
i camped at a state park on the coast south of salenas (spelling?). it was my kind of place, cheap, only $1.00 per person per night. i got going early, headed south for san luis obispo.
sometime during the morning i noticed a message on my voicemail, my thai friend called saying she wasn't able to get her visa. i was pretty sure she'd be able to get it so this was a bit of a surprise. in san luis obispo i got on the internet at the public library and sent out some emails.
at this point there was no hurry and a little coffee sounded good. at the 2 dogs coffee shop i started talking to a guy with two quick-draws an a sling (that's climbing gear) for a book bag strap about the local climbing. he drew me a map to the the climbing shops and gym and off i went in search of a climbing partner. at the granite stairway one of the employees roger offered me a driveway to park in and pointed me up to the climbing wall at the calpoly campus. i set out on the folding bike, that until then had been stowed in the back of my pickup. on the way back some fluke of fate sent me flying over the handle bar of my bike causing a nice patch of road rash on my knee and hands. i made out a lot better than the bike, it's not rideable, i'm still walking it off.
