Back in mid-May, we reported that Tacocat had made it into the High Sierra. But, deterred by the snow pack, he took a little time off to re-evaluate his plan. He eventually bounced north 500 miles to Belden where he re-started the trail on May 31st. It was still no easy walk in the woods (bottom photo . . . climbing out of Belden) but by July 7th he had reached Siskiyou Summit (Callahans). He reported an abundance of water and, now, heat . . . lots of 80s and 90s.
The top photo is beautiful Marble Mountain. Center left of the Trinity Alps moving west from Scott Mountain Summit. And, as clear from the center right photo, there is still plenty of snow in the Klamath Mountains.
