On our first night in Lassen we bumped into another traveler, Josie, who we met on our contract in Modesto, CA! Somehow we found each other in remote wilderness with no pre planning and had the opportunity to hike together for two days. We are so glad travel has allowed us to meet so many other awesome friends and to adventure together. A huge congrats to Josie who completed the Tahoe Rim Trail (a 170 mile loop) backpacking solo a few weeks after we hiked together in Lassen!
Your pictures are beautiful. It’s so nice for you to share. I know uncle Sammy loves your blog. What a nice surprise to meet up with your friend.
Unfortunately, Lassen is closed due to the Dixie fire, largest wild fire in California recorded history. Part of the park has burned as well as towns surrounding the park. I write this on 8/20/2021.
