We'd been hearing about the Williams for a while, so we decided to push here for the evening. So awesome!
We climbed out of the Feather River Canyon, which was a looong climb. The whole time we had to watch out for the mountains of poison oak around us. It was mentally tiring. But then!! We ran into a trail crew who made the trail look so beautiful! The tread was wide and there was no poison oak. So nice.
The last few miles of the day were brutal. Turns out doing so many miles in a row on old shoes really hurts. We were all feeling it.
But then we got to the road and Terry Williams picked us up and brought us to his cabin on Bucks Lake and gave us a double cheeseburger as an appetizer. Yes. I think this will work.
You can probably thank your grandfather that you're not allergic to poison ivy/oak. When we were kids my cousin, Dan Reams, would be covered with it. We played together all day and I never had any reaction. Still don't.
ReplyDeleteReading your blog reminds me of the old line, "and miles to go before I sleep".
The more I hear about poison oak the more I'm glad I don't react. I am terrible with itchy things. So thanks for the genes, Granddaddy!
