Day five

The next morning I woke up in pismo beach. It was cold, my tent and bicycle were covered in ice. I rode threw a bunch of fields growing artichokes and brussel sprouts. Also I passed a bunch of farm towns. Needless to say they were very poor, but it was a welcome change from all the tourist beach towns I had been riding threw. I had a late lunch in Lompoc and continued to head south. It was starting to get dark and on some desent I hit something in the road, I came to a sign that said 2 mile 7% downhill. I stopped to check my brakes and realized my rear wheel was messed up. I took the hill very slowly, it was dark now. Three miles after the hill I came to my campsite. Due to budget cuts it was closed. Frustrated I continued on. I ended up "stealth" camping at a vista point on the side of the highway. The view was amazing, I was on a bluff overlooking the pacific ocean with a couple oil dereks in the distance. At midnight it started to rain.
