Saturday, July 18. Mid-50s and cloudy going up to low 70s.
Up at 7:00. We had unexpected rain between 4:00 and 5:30 this morning. Not a lot, and I could still see some stars while it rained. Odd. On trail at 8:00.
I got a nice surprise from Jon Luning, my Theta Xi Fraternity Big Brother, late yesterday. This is from the latest edition of our national publication, The Unicorn.
Power hiking 22 miles today so that I can Nero in Sierra City on Sunday.
Some good lake views today.
Had an 8-mile ridge walk that looked like this for hours.
Lots of forest recovery and restoration work today. They are removing the dead and dying trees.
Camp at 6:15 and 22 miles. Awesome spot 10 feet from a babbling brook and bridge.
This is the first time I’ve done anything over 18 miles in quite a while. My feet hurt, but overall it was a decent day. I need to do more big-mile days soon.
I’m really looking to breakfast in Sierra City tomorrow. I have a resupply box at the general store and a cabin rented for tomorrow night. I need to post 7 days of blogs and plan for my next hiking sections.
