Sierra City

I am ready to walk!!! Larry picked us up for the drive to Sierra City this morning. So generous! It was an hour and a half over a mountain pass and he would not accept any compensation. Even told us to keep in touch as he has friends in Bend and a house in Ashland. What a great guy.

Sierra City is not a big place.

Tiny Main Street. We could have camped in the yard of the church or we chose to rent a room basically in the home of a local gal, Susan. It is right beside the river  with a wonderful garden.

And you know how sometimes you see something and it reminds you of something you didn't even know you'd forgotten? The wallpaper in the house...I think is the same wallpaper that was in my grandmas house in Abilene, KS. Different color, same pattern.

Talked to a few hikers in front of the general store who are heading south about what kind of trail we have ahead. (Mostly the snow situation) looks like there will be some but doable. One mile they said was sketchy, but we will be doing it about 3 days after they did, so come on sunshine, melt it down!

Up and out early tomorrow! I'm ready to roll!
