Day 73 ~ 1156.5 - 1177.5
Well, it's officially summer, and it now officially feels like it. It was so hot today; probably just as hot as it ever was in the desert! A local guy told us it was going to be 95.
I believe that we have officially now entered into Northern California! Central California presented the most beautiful, jawdropping scenery that we've ever seen, but not without a challenge. We are relieved to have the most difficult behind us, and excited about a more mellow trail.
We actually passed right by an interstate rest stop today, where we took a long break. Quality people watching ensued, and we also rinsed out some filthy articles of clothing.
Luckily, the terrain was pretty gentle, without the elevation varying too much. The climbs and descents were short and fairly gradual. Much of the trail was without shade. A slight breeze seldomly blew through and cooled us a bit. Even though the walking was a little easier, the heat is so draining. We wanted to get a little closer to town today, but long breaks and high temps didn't allow for that. Sierra City tomorrow!
