Mile 1415-Burney/Redding

Side trip to mt shasta with susan, have been going through the previous miles fairly quickly, stand by for an update... heres some pictures

July 15 Mile 1270 Quincy

Stayed at a trail angel's house last night, the food was absolutely amazing, im doing well and planning a long haul out of quincy to burney, ca... susan is planning on coming down to climb mt shasta with me around the 23rdish, and i will hopefully also take a zero-day at a wendy's. oregon border ETA is first week of august, the terrain has gotten very mild making 25's a regular day... 30's if i feel like getting on the trail before 8am (im lazy). i did a couple 20's out of sierra city due to fatigue and stomach cramps but soon figured out the bread i was eating was moldy. Oops.

Mile 1094 South Lake Tahoe

Ended up going out of Tuolumne and then going back into town due to fatigue and nausea. I stayed there for a while and got a prescription for Flagyl and have since felt great. The miles will be coming easily from here, but im sure there are many surprises in store...

Mile 940? Tuolumne Meadows

Got a stomach bug and back in mammoth, went to the doctor, etc., i think ive spent half of this month in town, hopefully headed back out tomorrow if i can keep food down.

Mammoth mile 906

First off i would like to thank Francios, Ellen, Anna, & Scott for sharing their food and conversation when i was desperately low on both. A lot of hikers staying in town, the last section, due to unseasonably cold weather, has caused a lack of snow melt, and some additional fresh snow. Im going to take a rest day in town, but i feel absolutely blessed to have gone through the sierra at the time i did... it made things particularly beautiful and picturesque. There is no way to sum up the last section in 5 pictures.

Mile 790 Kearsarge pass/bishop

Hiked about 50 miles in my ill fitted shoes, its been freak weather here with rain frequenting even death valley. A lot of hikers are getting antsy but i believe the sierras are still passable in bad weather, will be taking a zero day here in bishop. Got my new shoes!
