parts of the trail evidenced that the ribbon of single track was actually on top of an old road--duff spreads fast in forests like these, apparently.

had to climb about 10 feet below all that debris to reach a trickle of a stream for the night's water

beginning bear camp road, a sinuous ribbon of pavement that reaches through the heart of the ocean range across a 5000ft pass.

apparently people still prospect for gold in this stream

on my own again, i decided to point myself toward the redwoods. the order of the day was utilitarian: 130 miles across the scorched earth and 95 degree weather that separates the cascades from the ocean range. it wasn't all bad, as i'd end up following the rogue river watershed the entire time--definitely an experience.
