Nice to meet other touring cyclists along the way.  Many from overseas.

Here is one that I met near San Luis Obispo.

California State Park "hiker / biker" sites are usually only $3 per night and don't require reservations.

Other cyclists make good camping neighbors.

Below: Rather than a military base, I would rather remember Vandenberg Air Force Base as the place where the first space probes were launched to Jupiter. Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 started their long journeys of discovery in the 1970s.  They were launched from Vandenberg. 

Exploration and curiosity are good uses for our ingenuity.
