Lena calls Karl in a meadow somewhere

This afternoon Lena "randomly" called Karl and he "randomly" had his phone on briefly and they connected! Northern California does not have the cell phone reception so prevalent in Southern California and the ski resorts of the Sierra. Histo is still hiking with Spud, Honey Bear and Oasis; they're looking right at Mt Shasta and "it's getting bigger." Yesterday he picked up his box in Burney Falls, so they are in the mid-1400's of miles north on the trail. Hurray for Histo! Hopefully we'll get some photos one of these days. Happy hiking, all!
