More video, more shit, but less hearing me babble:
Had to set the tent for the fist time from a little rain at sunset. But at least no real storm.
But real Bad news, fuckin bad news.
I broke my Kindle ebook. Damn. Knocked it against a rock. I climbed up high on the mountain and miraculously got a cell phone connection, it would drop out after a couple of minuets but I left a voice mail to my bro to buy me another kindle. Damn! 2-3 weeks before I get it tho. Oh well I rationalized maybe I've been spending too much time with my nose in a book amongst this awesome scenery anyway. Pic of the working kindle and happier days. Pic taken just a few of days ago in Caribou.

The route continued down, keeping an eye on the thunderheads
Tiger Lily Monkshood or Wolfsbane - poisonous. Mint - delicious the route first turned into a old jeep trail Then into a dirt road then into a gravel Forest Service road, 15 odd mile of this.

Yet more flowers
Wild Azalea and more Tiger Lily And Dodder or Angel Hair. An orange parasitic non-chlorophyll plant with orange tendrils body, feels like plastic.
A Red Fir sapling top. Ya can always tell a fir from a pine cause the needles on a fir point upwards like a toothbrush.

did you also sidetrack to a closer drop in spot to pick up the new ebook???

It's an Alps and weighs 4 pounds.

Ahhh good question!
Before I left I stripped all the DRM protection from the ebooks so they'll read on any device.
When I get to my next supply at Mineral,CA i'll mail my kindle to my bro where he just has to connect the new one he bought (said he got deal on it) and my old kindle to his computer and they'll read as just as USB drives. Then just a matter of copy and past all the files from one to the other. Then he'll mail the new one back at the following supply drop, Beldon,Ca. Him and my niece are the ones taking care of my packages.
Seems tenuous but it did work. Yet still 2 weeks after Mineral for pick up. Initially he expected me to wait around a few days in Mineral for the mailings back and forth. Screw that, I need to move. Picked up a paperback at a post office in mineral, the postmistress there had a free leave-and-take library of books in front (as many small towns do). Good timing. Picked up a cowboy romance novel.
Boy since this happened in the past but the story is now future time. i'm confusing tenses here, sorry.
did you also sidetrack to a closer drop in spot to pick up the new ebook???
Nope, no deviation, jes keep truckin' on to Beldon as planned

Finally I came to my trail junction, it is on the National Scenic Registry (as the PCT is). I was looking forward to it and expecting a well built scenic tourist trail. Instead this is trail after just a few seconds on it. Just disappearing, haven't seen use in decades. It took all my skillz jes to find it half the time. Slooooow going.
Snow plant, a flowering plant but with no chlorophyll. Saprophytic, feeds on decaying matter in the ground. Comes up after snow melt. Penstemon Halfway and numerous scratches later I found this sign. Obviously old, Lichen growing on it, UV deteriorated The "trail" got better for a little while, terrain opened up anyway, the little rock cairn on the bolder in middle of pic was the only indication a trail went up this way, or anyone been here before. But then it completely disappeared in thick down fall. No cairns, just gone. Too busy and exhausted too take pics, climbing over one log after another.
After some hard fought elevation gain and consulting the GPS elevation, I was convinced I was in the right place but that I'd never see the trail again …
Then I came to the Park boundary sign, not really a trail, but at least I knew was really on the right track… Put in maybe 8 miles and still a late camp. I often say now: that trail was the hardest cross-country I'd ever done. Camp for the night, what a day! Set up the tent for mosquitoes.

With no trail it was cross country up Brokeoff Mountain for 1000 odd foot climb. Till I came to the tourist trail the last 400 feet. The way was easy, trival compared to yesterday just the steep climbing up.
Just before I hit the real trail. The trail. View from the top, Mt Lassen. Looking down one of the crevices in Brokeoff's cliff. Intense, not the solidest rock to climb up. Looking south where I'm heading. Looking back where I came from.
