Reverend Blister, Ninja, and Possum at sunrise on maybe our worst smokey day.
This is the spot where we like to watch bears.......
...... like this guy! We thought we were going to make it all the way through CA without seeing one. We sat and watched him (or her) for about 10 minutes, foraging for food, and it was like watching Discovery Channel. As of the time I am writing this we have seen 3 bears, an uncountable amount of mule deer, lots of quail and grouse, 3 rattlesnakes, 1 bobcat, 1 elk, 3 coyotes, a lynx, and so many more other critters.
Remember how we said that the smoke could be beautiful?
Never mind.
This was one of the worst days.
Taking some time to smell the flowers...... and spread some seeds.
Amazing!
This 6 mile road walk to Seiad Valley took a little longer than planned as the wild-blackberry's gravitational force kept pulling us in!
While in Seiad Valley, which is in the " Great State of Jefferson", Blister needed a new hat so he got one with the seal of the State of Jefferson........ and he is now the Governor. By the way, would you look at that burger!
The sunset was amazing as we stopped in the middle of the climb out of Seiad Valley. At about 2 am we awoke to smoke and unfortunately the wind had shifted and we got another really tough smoke day.
Sunrise
Possum looking lost.
Possum is tired of smoke and it might be causing him to lose it a little.
We saw so many trees like this that we started to just get used to them. But seriously......... that's a BIG tree
