This post will be short, as there isn’t much to say about Graberville.. Population in 2010 census: 913, about 200 miles north of San Francisco. As someone described it, Graberville is a stoner town. It happens to be cannabis harvest season and the town is full of “trim-igrants”, mostly young people, from all over the world, who have arrived hoping to get a job trimming the cannabis plants. Apparently the pay was once pretty good, but no more. And the smell of marijuana is pervasive, so much so that I was feeling vertigo walking the 4 retail blocks of the town.
It was a good place to just rest. I used the elevator for every trip up and down one flight of stairs. I did laundry. I read. I tried to nap. Hopefully my body has recovered as we have a 70 mile, 6000 feet of climb day tomorrow to Fort Bragg – the good news is another rest day on Saturday.
- Yummy all-organic breakfast this morning with Barbara
- If you look closely, you will see groups of young people hanging around the parking lot hoping for a day job.
- Old style local theatre
- Notice the marijuana plant pattern in these curtains at the Hemp Connection store
- Dinner tonight was spinach salad, turkey, cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes, gluten-free gravy – in recognition of Canadian Thanksgiving next week.
- Dessert was spice cake with apricot glaze.
