Hey guys, just about to leave Sierra City and get back on trail. These last few weeks have been so incredibly beautiful, yet very challenging! We've spent countless hours lost in snow looking for trail and trying to get back on track. Had a great time in Yosemite and a well needed rest day in South Lake Tahoe. The trail took us through Alpine Meadows, Squaw Valley, and SugarBowl ski areas. I'm now in what is considered Northern California and the last 20 miles into Sierra City were basically snow free! This is a major morale booster because the snow has been so mentally depressing. It's good to be following dirt trail again and just walking more care free without being lost. At the moment I'm almost a month behind my original schedule due to the record snowfall in the High Sierra. Time to enter hustle mode and get to Canada before the snow in the Cascades starts. I am so anxious to
finish the trail and just get home. Love you guys, thanks for following!

  1. Cody,
    Good to hear you are getting out of the snow and are actually hiking with dry feet at times.
    As Cassie said, you may need to start jogging to make it to her wedding on October 1. We miss you, but dont rush so much that you can't enjoy the adventure.
