Made it to Sierra City (mile 1197.5). Another week and I'll be halfway to Canada. I have a ton more awesome photos to post of the Sierra, but can't seem to get them efficiently off of my camera so I may have to send the memory card from Belden (mile 1289) to Gretchen. We're done with the Sierra Nevada now and won't be over 8,000 ft again, I believe. We can see that the mountains mellow out to the north and now look like big hills compared to what we have travelled through. We did get a long distance shot of Shasta from the mountains yesterday. At this distance it looked like a white pyramid totally covered in snow. For those that don't know, it's a Cascade volcano that stands a little over 14,000 ft. Looking forward to walking through the dense forests ahead and getting to the Cascades and Oregon in the next 3-4 weeks. Gretchen and I will try to get the photos posted soon. They're some of the most gorgeous.
