Day 79: Hat Creek Rim and the First 40 — Mile 1350.3 -> Mile 1390.7 With today’s relatively easy terrain, a 40 would be doable. The only issue was I was pushing into Hat Creek Rim, the longest waterless stretch of NorCal (and probably the
Day 76: Halfway, Then Chester — Mile 1307.3 -> Mile 1331.3 -> Hitchhike into Chester I crossed the halfway point today. I’m still 3/4 of the way through California, and I still have Oregon and Washington to do, but it felt
Day 75: Quincy — Mile 1259.9 -> Mile 1267.9 -> Hitchhike into and out of Quincy -> Mile 1274.7 I was up early due to a night of light rest (thanks a lot, deer and bees). I got moving
Day 72: Out Of The Snow — Mile 1155.9 -> Mile 1191.1 The night before: Just after consuming my last quadrant of Buffalo Pizza’s amazing chorizo and tomato breakfast pizza (thanks again Emily and Sal!), I brushed my teeth and laid in
Days 62 - 67: Donahue, Tuolomne Mosquito Hell, Benson, Seavey, Senora, Tahoe — Day 62: Mile 917.0 -> Mile 942.6 It was my first day out alone and I wanted to tackle two passes: Island and Donahue. The former isn’t so much a pass as it is a

Day 78: Lassen And Drakesbad — Hitchhike out of Chester -> Mile 1350.3 I was up early and hit Cravings for breakfast. I had a great veggie and avocado omelet and multiple cups of coffee before getting ready to head back
Day 76: Belden And Sunset Campout — Mile 1274.7 -> Mile 1307.3 What a weird day. I got out of the ridge from Quincy and started a long but gorgeous downhill into Belden. I had heard there was an “event” there, but
Day 74: Looking Out Over Quincy — Mile 1221.6 -> Mile 1259.9 Today was an even bigger day. I got to camp on a ridgeline yesterday, which meant cowboy camping and minimal mosquitoes. Now that the weather is also warming up, it
Days 68 - 71: Family and Friends in Tahoe — Day 68: Mile 1087.4 -> Mile 1092.3 -> Hitchhike into South Lake Tahoe -> Ride out with friends -> Mile 1101.7 After an easy descent to HWY 50, I grabbed a quick hitch and went
Days 60 and 61: Neros in Mammoth Lakes — Mile 901.0 -> Mile 906.7 -> Multiple buses in and out of Mammoth Lakes -> Mile 917.0 We did an easy 6 miles into Red’s Meadow for breakfast (which was very overpriced), and then paid
