Heading to Dunsmuir, CA

Time to start linking up the disparate parts of my completed trail...The plan was to complete WA this summer, an easy jaunt from Portland to Panther Creek Campground, then 289 miles to Stevens Pass, where I first met Happy JO in 2002 and hiked to Canada. But this year I can decide if i want to handle snow, and well, I don't. The reports so far say snow in the trees and 6-7 ft of it at Indian Peak Wilderness. I'm not even sure that the snow will melt at all this year.

And so, a return to the hot, dry, dusty ridges of California--the stuff I really enjoy. It's time to hump water, slather on the sunblock and work on my tan. More updates coming soon.
