• Up at 5:00, downhill all the way, trail often invisible because of foliage.  Lots of beautiful flowers.  Last 6 miles alongside Klamath river on road.  Made it to cafe 5 minutes before closing at 2, but decided to just buy stuff at adjacent market (1 lb ham,1 lb cheese).  Camped on lawn at R.V. park.

• Elevation: 1500’.   Water!  Happy to be here in May/June, & not July/Aug, when it is supposed to be the hottest place on the PCT.  Restaurant is voted (& was on TV) as one of the top ten places in the U.S. to pig out: eat 5 of their pancakes in 2 hours and get them for free.  Only 6 have ever succeeded.

End point: 1662.1

Miles: 16

Hours: 8  (2 mph!)

• Petunia & Tree Hugger on trail (took photo).

Ended: 1677, 6 PM, altitude 5000’

Distance: 15 m

• Began day rising from big fat foam pad Mart let me use on their RV park lawn (I believe I was the only guest).  Last night he came over with a free dinner of grilled chicken, green beans, and the world’s largest baked potato.  Wouldn’t let me pay. 

• Didn’t try the pancake challenge.  

• Best wildflowers I've ever seen.
