Man this River Haven house is comfortable.  

Susan’s rear deck is next to a stream and looks over the North Yuba River.    I can get used to this.   I bought Susan some muffins to butter her up for our next request, which is to stay until the afternoon.   She is all good with it, I think it is Soho’s charm that wins the day.

 

We set off at 4:30 and got a hitch to the trail head.   The gal driving was funny.   She got on the subject of water conservation and said “Jerry Brown says not to flush my toilet so I flush it twice instead”.   Love it.

On the trail at 5 and climbed up and up.

Got to a ridge line with some camping and met a North bound couple.   Pocahontas and her grumpy tatooed boyfriend.   Forgot his name.   I think she’ll forget it too someday soon.

Stepped on 1200 this evening. 

We kept hiking into the twilight. 

We setup under the moonlight near Sierra Buttes Jeep road at 1203.   Met a couple of guys there making dinner.   Morning Joe and Strider.   They did most of the high Sierra’s, but skipped the section north of Yosemite.   These guys look like they can do the miles, probably won’t be seeing them much.  

Soho and I setup just our bug liners on our tents.   The mosquitoes are hungry up here.    I was getting bit every few minutes unpacking and cooking.   Hate those things.
