July 25th Feather River(1250.5)-Spring N of Mt. Pleasant(1278.7) Today's Mileage: 28.2mi Today was a fun day and it went by pretty quickly. Most of the day was uphill, but I was happy to still get a lot of miles in. It's a good sign that I can do this much mileage on...

July 24th Near Jeep Rd N of "A" Tree Spring(1220.8)-Feather River(1250.3) Today's Mileage: 29.5mi My goal until I reach Ashland is to at least average 25mi/day. Deep down, I'd like to do 30mi days. It's still a bit early for that with elevation changes and areas with...

July 23rd Sierra City/Hwy 49(1196.7)-Near Jeep Rd N of "A" Tree Spring(1220.8) Today's Mileage: 24.1mi After a not so smooth week last week, I was ready to start off with a clean slate today. Fortunately, things are improving and today was a nice day of hiking solo. I...

July 22nd Relaxing with Spock at the Red Moose Inn. Today was a very much needed zero. I've had a lot of little things not go my way in the last week or so, and I need to hit the reset button. It is reality that the trail will have it's ups and downs and here is a...

**This post was a little delayed due to some technical difficulties...I finally got everything up from this section. It was a very challenging section with some unbelievable pics and video! The first video pretty much sums up this section. I was able to make it...

July 21st Near Logging Rd(1177.5)-Sierra City(1197.6) Today's Mileage: 20.1mi The whole group I was camped with (Balls, Sunshine, Sly, Dutch, Twiggy, Spock, and Spice Rack) got up early to get into Sierra City. We were all looking forward to getting to town and we...

July 20th Donner Pass/Hwy 40/Truckee(1155.5)-Near Logging Rd(1177.5) Today's Mileage: 22mi I'm hoping this will be the last day with a ton of snow...This morning, Pilar gave me a ride back to the trail at Donner Pass. Thanks for hosting me Pilar! You rock! It was...

July 19th Whisky Creek(1140)-Donner Pass/Hwy 40/Truckee(1155.5) Today's Mileage: 15.5mi I decided not to set my alarm this morning since I'm slowing down so that Snowblind(who has my camera) can catch up to me. I still woke up at 5am. I did a few things and fell back...

July 18th Phipps Creek(1114.7)-Whisky Creek(1140) Today's Mileage: 25.3mi This morning was great because I set my alarm and then got up at my leisure. Every other morning, I've been with a group and there is a predetermined leave time. It was really great to not be on...

July 17th Echo Lake/South Lake Tahoe(1094.5)-Phipps Creek(1114.7) Today's Mileage: 20.2mi Today was the day I've needed for awhile. I am finally in an area without high stream crossing or dangerous snow. I no longer need to hike with a large group and I get to hike...

July 16th We jammed a lot into today and made sure everyone got what they needed. It was a reward for all of us and it made for a long day. We rented a car and drove to Reno (1.5hrs), where there was an REI. I get cranky cooped up in small places and around people all...

July 15th Meadow(1081.5)-Echo Lake/South Lake Tahoe(1094.5) Today's Mileage: 13mi We woke up and got going early this morning because it's a town day. Not just any town...we made it to Tahoe baby! For many of us, Tahoe (or Echo Lake) is a point of celebration for...

July 14th Raymond Canyon(1059.1)-Meiss Meadow(1081.5) Today's Mileage: 22.4mi Last night, we had our second night in a row of little sleep because of the strong wind gusts. I maybe slept 4hrs. I even found it so ridiculous that I made a video in the middle of the...

Pack Trail Junction(1038.3)-Raymond Canyon(1059.1) Today's Mileage: 20.8mi Today was much better than yesterday for me. Overnight, it was quite gusty and I woke up many times because of the noise, and once because one of my stakes got pulled out from a strong gust....

July 12th Sonora Pass/Hwy 108(1018.3)-Pack Trail Junction(1038.3) Today's Mileage: 20mi I was a tired, cranky camper today. The day started out good(I had dry shoes!) and I slowly went to the dark side as the day continued. Last night, we had an epic fail after 2hrs...
