Another hot day in Seiad Valley — 101 today, and they’re calling for 108 tomorrow! I think I’m hiking out of here tonight. Getting out of Seiad Valley means climbing 5000 vertical feet in this heat. The saving grace is I’m just passed mile 1627 which means almost exactly 1000 miles left to go, well 999. I should hit the Oregon border in three days, can’t wait! I understand that the terrain is much more forgiving.
how many pounds did you eat? so long, just finished one week and am exhausted.
Deano–You are making me feel like a lazy bum. Good luck with the heat and the climb.

what a massive meal! That would hurt me I think. How many pairs of shoes have you gone through?
I have always wanted to hike in the Trinity Alps, looks beautiful. Love the river crossing! No thanks on the pancakes… Are you using the same pack, and what shoes are you hiking in now? Did you like the Hokas? I did pick up a pair and they are great for my aching feet 🙂
wow – the TRINITY ALPS – thanx for the pics Dean ! all i can remember about a trek thru there 45 yrs ago is the last nite of camp , trading my ski boots for my brothers last 2 pieces of beef jerky so i could have something with a cup of soup for last supper … lean times but the best of them – good to see you when you passed thru – keep slayin’ it …

Hey Dean! Great job on the little walk you’re doing there! Hey I know you are almost always out on trail, but if you get in and go to a place with internet, check out my friend’s tent. I’m helping with some of the development. It’s made for being super light and it’s efficient… what do you think? … of course when you get time. see http://www.appytrails.com
cheers bro! tom
