Buck's Lake Wilderness

Didn't get out of Quincy until late morning, but still managed to do 20 miles today. It was a day of really beautiful, gradual trail.

Cool, mossy trees.

There were tons of blowdowns in some of the sections! Had to do a lot of climbing over and around, but there was only a few very small patches of snow. Yay!!

We got to Belden at about 6:00 after a long steep climb down the mountain. Weather forecast here for the next few days is....a winter snow advisory above 6000 feet, and yep, that means snow. And winds gusting up to 50 mph on the ridges. 😝😁
