had a bad run in with terrorist rangers years back
asshole them was

since they made you come in did you take the time to tell the judge what kinda agents he had working for him this time???

Naw. the judge was a federal magistrate. sees low level cases and arraignment for larger ones. No chance to plead my case.

The rangers said they would be there in court. when i said they both didn't need to be there. the head dickwad vowed up and down he'd be there. nether was. Lying pigs. they sent a little girl as "counsel for the government" instead. The fine normally was 200$ plus 30$ filing fee. i sweet talked the "counsel" down to 100$. a new bear canister cost is about 90$. so kinda of deal for me in saving the unneeded weight

What was interesting tho, there were several Cannibals cultivation cases on fed land. Magistrate gave rather lenient fines. just couple thousand dollars and no time served. what a change 30 years ago ... federal cultivation was for sure ass-fuck prison! One dude was transporting 6 pounds and got a 500$ fine. easy operating cost.

The pre-Start Rush.

This blurry pic of last-minute-the-night-before packing the pack, the supply boxes, maps, ect .. all the planning and still a chaotic mourning. But finally made it out the door with my Brother and a road trip to northern Cali.

The real Start.

Fred, who gave me a tour of how to sight and triangulate a willdfire, manned the lookout. This is a big timber industry here and quick wildfire suppression is taken seriously.

Line sight the fire and then triangulate the location form another lookout post from the pull down map

Fred was quite a character, eager for company and talked intensively about the area I was abut to hike through, local politics and on and on.

Views from the top:

Lassen peak south where I’m heading.

Shasta peak north.

Windy as hell on top. Finally shouldered the pack and hit the trail .. or road in this case.

On my way … June 23 day one .
