Spent last night (Monday July 7) at a campsite near Summit Lake junction. Coordinates: N40 deg 28.569', W 121 deg 22.759'. Called Shirley at 1:45p CA time today from Old Station, CA where I had a shower and washed out my hiking shirt. It is hot here and the terrain is totally different than what I have enjoyed for the past 7 weeks. I am hiking at lower elevations across swampy meadows and sandy (pain in the neck) ground. There are long, dry stretches through pine forests where the trees are all the same size - commercial-type, good for logging. The terrain is 'flat as a flitter.' I'll be hiking another 8 or 9 miles today before stopping for the evening. Will be getting into Burney Falls State Park tomorrow which is right on the trail.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard

Hi Greybeard! It is fascinating what you are doing to support Home of the Innocents! Your pictures are beautiful! I am so glad you are sharing them with those of us that are monitoring your progress. Happy trails!
Hi Carl!
You are truly an inspiration to all of us more sedintary folks back here in Kentucky!
We are about a month or so away from breaking ground for the expansion of our campus here so while you're making great strides in your quest to complete the PCT, we will be experiencing new and much needed growth of our own.
God bless you Carl and may He keep you safe in your journey.
