Day 67 & 68
Published:
My diarrhea was pretty bad on these days, so, combined with the big mileage we were pushing, I didn’t have the energy at the end of these days to blog. Thus I’ll list some highlights and lowlights: the climb out of Sierra City was gradual and very beautiful (Sierra Buttes!), I only realized I lost my phone after falling while climbing over a blowdown one and a half miles downhill of the blowdown, so I had to march uphill to retrieve it, we finally caught up with Roadrunner (spoiler: the four of us are shaping up to be a pretty great hiking group), the last eight miles of day 68 was through a recent burn area with half of it as a road walk routing around an area with so many blowdowns hikers described it as impassable, that day ended at the beautiful and unburned Middle Fork of the Feather River where I soaked and washed my feet and legs for the first time since South Lake Tahoe. Here are some photos:
