Winding down

The whole rest of this trip is now visible in one look at my map case.

I just descended 4500 feet in around 30 miles, putting me back at Ft Worth altitude for the 1st time since, well, I guess since I left.   Still gotta climb back up to almost 3000 today and tomorrow,  though. Here are some shots of today's 1st 55 miles.  It doesn't look like there are any towns of size between here (Red Bluff) , and the end of this trail, so I'm not expecting to be able to post again, before the end of the ride, tomorrow night or Monday.   Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion, as it develops. See you on the other side!

Short day

I'm calling it a 65 miles, and camping in Child's Meadows.  There's no phone service,  but I found some wifi. Mt Lassen glares down on my little tent, sad now, that her laziness in shedding her winter blanket will prevent me from seeing her glories and sharing them with you, gentle reader.

Also, what the heck is the red thing?

Out of the Sierra Range, and into the Cascades

Feather River pics

Forgot to attach them to the last post

Along the Feather River

First 28 miles down. Just beautiful, amazing terrain, stunning views. All this is tempered by twisty roads, no shoulders, logging trucks and two flats so far today.

Stopped for coffee in Greenville, somebody knows the difference between a cappuccino and a latte. Yowm.
