Seiad Valley

Day 112 - July 26
Mile: 1641.2 to 1653
up/down: 1400/2700 feet

Starting off with a creek crossing for breakfast, we blasted out the remaining miles to Seiad Valley and our awaiting friends Dan and Brenda. We skipped the ugly highway road walk that takes you miles upstream on the Klamath River to a bridge and back again to town. The truck was popular as every hiker we passed wanted a ride! Before it was over we had 11 hikers in the truck and in the back! Road walks suck and we all HATE doing them. 

 
 
 

The RV is parked by the river (with fledgling Ospreys!) and we'll hang here and avoid the ugly heat. We may walk out a couple miles this evening. If so I'll come back and edit this post. There's another monster 4000 plus foot climb coming to get out of here. 

 


Dan had clippers so we had hair cut day too!

  1. What a laugh. Susan and you and the clippers!! Probably felt good? Did you get a turn on her hair? Glad you had the truck ride and the company of Brenda and Dan.

  2. Okay, i've had about enough of not saying anything but this picture takes the cake. Some hairline you got there. And did it have an attachment for the ear hair? Glad you kept that out of the picture. You look old as hell but very healthy. Keep trucking you guys, your posts and pictures are awesome!
