Numbers & Pictures 6/24-7/7 Mile 1335

Mile 1325. More than 1/2 way to Canada!

Says Midpoint. 

3 months & 3 days since we started this epic journey. Aiming to complete in under three months. 

Since 6/24, Echo Lake to 7/7 Chester: 

13 days of hiking. 

11 days of 20 miles & 2 days of 13 miles. 

We have increased our mileage. (Seems to take away from blog time)

We are suddenly experiencing summer Heat!  90 degrees at 7000 feet. Swollen feet & heat blisters for TC. 

Catch up with photos for last 2 weeks:

Tiger lily?&

Trying to stay cool. Maybe if TC sits in the trickle?

Eating lunch in the stream. Another cool maneuver. 

Feather River East. Firecracker on the bridge. 90° in the shade. 

Cooling off in the Feather River. Firecracker in center. 

Trail magic at Bucks Pass on 4th of July. 

Is that a Coke that Firecracker is drinking? Enjoying the trail gift. 

New flowers to enjoy. ?

New vistas. Volcanic. Leaving the Sierra behind. 

Belden Town music festival called Priceless. Really nice scene we enjoyed for 5 hours. 

Festival on & in the Feather River West

Firecracker getting her groove on. DJ playing electronic dub dance thump. 

Firecracker tracing out. With no drugs. 

Another new flower?

Mt. Lassen in the distance. 

TC selfie. Laying on trail with feet elevated. Bandaged thumb. (They keep cracking)
