Pacific Creat Trail - Day 122 - Hat Creek Rim

We camped outside of Subway Cave and headed in in the morning with headlamps.

Lucifer’s Cul-de-sac is an all time name.

Kristin called Lassen a ”big Bundt cake”. We didn’t get close enough to taste it.

Zero clue what happened here but it’s pretty nonetheless.

the colors of this thistle were stark against the surrounding earth tones.

Let’s compare lifetime tax bills, shall we?

In other words, STFU.

Theres a very dramatic scene in Wild about filtering water out of this pond and waking up to frogs. The water was clear(ish) and we heard no frogs.

We hiked along a steep escarpment for miles above a volcanic sea with evergreen trees.

1400 miles wasn’t exactly a celebration :/

Dust. Ash. Another shitty day hiking through twenty plus miles of wildfire scorched national forest.
