Everyone in northern California got together and decided to dress as hippies for halloween. And they must have been planning it for a while, because they had long beards and even smelled like real hippies!
Just Kidding.
Even though we didn't end up going out for halloween, we didn't let the holiday go to waste. The night before, Jodie and Wendy bought a pumpkin and carved a cute little jack-o-lantern named Pablo that Jodie hauled along on top of her bob all day.
We were late in getting the idea to dress up on our bikes (the dates sort of mush together when you don't have a tight schedule), and when we got to Medocino on the morning of the 31, there were no costumes to be had. But there were big orage garbage bags with jack-o-lantern faces on them. So we bought 2, tied them around our necks and set off flapping down the highway.
It certainly got us a lot of attention, in the form of honks and waves from passers-by but the flapping got to be too much by mid-afternoon and we had to take them off. We decorated our campsite with them that night, and trick or treated at the only other occupied hiker-biker site in the campground, where we sat with our little pumpkin and a warm campfire and shared stories with Mary and Brent from Vancouver who are biking the same route as we are.
T'was a very hippy halloween!
