Day 50,51. Mid August. Going around Beartrap Mountain.
Looking back north, Lassen Peak off in the distance, a long way from there to here Gotta zoom in to barley see her. Mourning 'breakfast break' and pulling out the old solar charger

A-Tree spring
White Ceanothus. The flowers make a decent soap, lathering up nicely when rubbing with a little water.
Red Baneberry, Poisonous

Sunset and alpine glow on the Sierra Buttes. Other side of the Buttes and the looong long drop down into the Yuba River and Sierra City Hobbes and Chicadee . Hiking California, Mexico to Ashland Oregon. Very cool folks and someone older then me on the trail.

Into Sierra City and my 6th re-supply.
Good times in Sierra City, The local grill had a one pound burger called the gut-buster served with hand breaded onion rigs, Holy shit it was good! Almost every PCT hiker orders one. A decent snack for hungry hungry hikers.
I've really been in Jefferson State, not California. A treat, real live music, The Public String Band. Folk and blue grass, they jammed tight and played all the right songs. Damn good times. The Red Moose café. Spent the night at the local church's yard for free .. with two completely awesome hikers, Ann and Die-hard. Thru hiking to Canada. Die-hard on the right is British med student taking time off before her residency. Both soloing but hooked up while on the trail, Behind schedule yet full of smiles. I luv 'em both! An unexpected treat for me is the truly awesome people I meet the trail.

Brief respite into civilization was fun.
Sister-in-law sent some cookies the kids bake. Sweet, it's nice being though of.
With no pay phones and my ATT connection worthless, had to borrow Die Hard's Verison phone to check in with my bro, let him know I'm here and OK and mail the next supply package.
Still no court date yet for the fucking bear canister. Sheesh it's been 30 days and nothing.
Ben, you asked if there was hot spots, well Sierra City's store had one fwiw. first one i noticed. tho it didn't do me any good.
Packing it up. The next 4 days the trail stayed up high on the ridge. Blue skies, inspiring views, cold spring water and a beautiful wilderness trail. I'm a happy camper. Sierra Buttes dwindling away in the distance. Purple Asters

Damn I was expecting it, but a court date is always a kick in the nuts. With a little luck tho I'll only lose 6-8 days off the trail maybe more, fuking pigs.
Ahh well, next day the views soothed my soul. And got on with really matters, takin care of business. Crossed under Intrastate 80 at Donner summit. Through the hiker's tunnel while the big trucks thundering overhead.
