Day 4 frilly B&B
There is only one place to stay in Fort Jones and the Hummingbird B&B is it. Geared more toward the ladies I’d say.

All of a sudden we were on the other side of the Trinity Alps in a wide open valley with a view of Shasta in the distance.

Sebastian, I was thinking of you today as I went up this hill wishing you were on the trail behind because you’re so good and helping me. I think if you’d been here I could have beaten Chris up the grade.
Love
Daddy

There was an almost Vermont feel to the road today.

No commentsDay 4 old engine
Nathaniel, here’s an old engine sitting beside the road. I think this was used in mining, maybe to pump water at high pressure so they could blast the gold off the hillsides. Seeing it reminded me of those old steam engines we saw in Cornwall…do you remember?
Love,
Dad

No commentsDay 4 Happy Camp to Fort Jones
We’ve done 45, 48 and 51 mile days so far and we decided to cut today’s 65 mile ride down to a manageable 35 miles in order to let these old bones rest a bit before tomorrows 2700 foot climb. We got a ride from Happy Camp to Hamburg from a guy with a pickup truck looking to make a couple of bucks. Once at Hamburg we had the nicest day yet…almost three hours of riding with basically no cars.
