Year: 2008

Took a break after a steep stretch and saw this sign. Had to jump a fence to take pic, but don’t worry. Checked for traps first. (Out of chronological order, sorry.)

Getting late. Tomorrow we take Mount Lassen. (Out of chronological order, sorry.)

After a relaxing evening hanging out with Greg’s cousin’s generous family (and sleeping in The Hilton of Tents!) we were ready to go… but it still took us forever to get out of Chico. I got a mysterious flat tire later (the 3rd of the trip for our group), and then managed to crash for no good reason, so we didn’t really get going until about 5:30pm. We only rode about 35 miles that day. (Out of chronological order, sorry.)

This video didn’t come out so well, but Nick, Rai Sue, Megan, and Greg can vouch that there were a LOT of goats. Well over 100, all saying “baaahh” (Out of chronological order, sorry.)

Nick pointed out the sign and told me to slow down. 😉  Hot. 1000 ft. elevation and climbing fast.

Jeff G., Trigger the bike, and B.O.B. the trailer.

Only a couple more miles to go to the peak! I ambushed Nick with a snowball soon after. 😉

River below bridge.

Took about 1 hour, 15 minutes to hike up the last bit–just under 2000 ft climb. Nobody else was up for it, but they agreed to stop at a closer campsite so i could meet them tonight. (Thanks!)
