I expect to see water hauling signs in New Mexico, but not along the coast.
After riding only about twenty miles, I came to the Pigeon Point Lighthouse and International Hostel. I have been curious about modern hosteling, so decided to stay for a night to see what it’s about. For $31, I had a bunk in a shared room. There were two other cyclists staying here, who were day travelers from the urban Bay Area; otherwise the travelers were in cars. In the evening, guests sat in the shared living room, mostly keeping to themselves.
The lodging was perfectly comfortable and functional, and would be a good respite during a rainstorm. Otherwise, camping at hiker/biker sites and with the occasional Warmshowers host is a more enjoyable option for my needs and tastes.
The Pigeon Point Lighthouse. It’s the most iconic of all of the lighthouses I have seen on this trip, with its tall tower and shelter for the “wickies” who once kept the light burning.
