Bitter Root?
Middle Fork of the Feather River.
Sometimes we are blessed with sweet, clean, cold spring water.
Timmy found a tree swing.

As well as gold miners, gold mining equipment, and even section hikers with gold flakes.
Mile 1300.
And later that day, the midpoint of the trail!
Dirty Girl Gaiters sent me some fun new gaiters!
Free!
In Old Station we met Zeek, a 15 1/2 yr old, half coyote, wonder dog.
