After Sierra City


                 6-29
Brothers on the climb
We got up and going at about 6am to beat the heat. The first 8 miles was a 3000 foot climb with a good amount of switchbacks. Once the sun hit us, the climbing got a little tougher. We made it to our water destination and pretty much the top at about 11am for a good siesta. The water at that spring was amazing too. Cold and clear. The second part of the day was a bit of confusing road, walking through populated trail heads, and lots of people getting ready for 4th of July. We got to our spot and had another amazing Mountain House meal, then played some cards. I think the climb today wore those guys out, so hopefully they get some good sleep. It was a tough climb so they should be tired. Great day!
