Histo and his crew have arrived at Castle Crags State Park, hitting Highway 5 at Castella. It has been really hot but the forests have been nice. The group has had awesome views, first of Lassen Peak, next of Mt. Shasta. The PCT goes through backcountry in Lassen, and Histo saw a beautiful, healthy bear. The bears in Lassen are wild, and campers generally don't see them, though we have found their "hotels" in hikes off the main trails.
Histo's feeling great, excited to be up north and looking forward to Oregon. Of course he is tired and his feet hurt (that's the name of the game). The thru-hikers are pretty spread out; there is a large group several days ahead of Karl's group, and otherwise they've only see a few hikers lately. Caught up with Snausage, whom he hasn't seen since Sierra City. Hoping to meet Mike from Berkeley in Etna and hike with him to Seiad Valley.
Photos going in the mail today, so we should get a new album in a couple of days; it will have lots of pictures--from Soda Springs to Castella! Keep an eye out folks, and keep those comments coming (I report them to Histo, and he will enjoy reading them next time he's on a computer).
