DAY 77, Sun.,Jul.13. Partial ZERO Day, Dunsmuir, CA - TOTAL MILES TO DATE: 1,506.5

Coordinates: N 41 deg.13.594', W 122 deg 16.584'. After a night bedded down next to I-5 near Castle Crags State Park (not in the park), I hiked into Dunsmuir to find a motel room for a short break. I'll be hitching into Castella tomorrow to the post office. Then back on the trail after that. A large, fattening, calorie loaded pizza is on the menu for tonight's evening meal. Got to speak with my dear wife tonight.

Thanks to all of you who have posted comments - it's great to hear from you and to know you are supporting this venture. Thank you for your prayers and best wishes.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
