we’re finally made it to our last county in ca, siskiyou. turns out they replaced the 8000 foot climb over lassen with a pleasant nearly flat country road and the replaced the world’s grossest port a potty with a real bathroom at the subway lava tubes. ok, really we went around lassen because the road is still covered in snow. but the second part is true. took a day off at burney falls to recharge our knees. we’re on to oregon next and i’m keeping my fingers crossed that the remaining passes will be open.

all hail proud bums! may great shasta bless you with many thousand new age talismans! don’t forget that your forcefield will be confiscated at the oregon border, and that to retain your magical capabilities abroad, you’ll need to chant the chorus and selected lyrics from “california überalles” at breakfast each morning, preferably within earshot of the locals. enjoy the trees, intrepid travelers, and tempt not the vile afterbirth of our infantile nation!
