Brief update: this morning Histo called from about 10 miles south of Crater Lake Rim (see him and his sister Lena on his first camping trip: Mazama campground, Crater Lake!). He's hiking with Doc (the younger one), Hallmark, Yankee Son and a couple other thru-hikers. I mentioned that on my drive home yesterday the only thing I could see of Mt Shasta was its shrouded flanks, ghostly-white from wildfire smoke. Histo reported that yesterday they had the same phenomenon in Oregon: they walked along a lovely ridge, but could only see about 2 miles due to smoky haze. Fire season is here, and some fires are on or near the PCT!
