Pacific Crest Trail - Days 127-128 - Dunsmuir and Castle Crags

We ordered a replacement bug net for Oregon to Dunsmuir, and we’re grateful this guy decided to hang out on the outside instead of jumping inside our failing one.

Castle Crags wasn’t quite as pretty the morning after.

That’s pretty good. These markers are coming faster and faster.

ESTD 1886. Remember that none of gestures wildly at the American West has any meaningful history or needs to exist perpetually in its current state.

I don’t know whether this is the best flamingo neon on the planet, or whether the flamingo should be standing on one leg.

THE Bears 🐻

LOL

These two badasses were thinning trees and fuel in the heat at Castle Crags State Park.

The bear box at the PCT camp turned into a de facto hiker box and needed some organizing/cleaning - a lot of discarded ziploc baggies with miscellaneous whiteish powders.

It’s so wonderful not having access to the news. We don’t have to imagine what the fall of an empire looks like, we have front row seats to the show.

This sign interestingly used metric units.

Castle Crags is gorgeous from any angle.

We got caught out in an afternoon thunderstorm. Still smiling.
