Today we had a short day into town. Shortly after heading out we crossed a nice spring at mile 1261.30. It wasn’t in Halfmile’s app, so that was a nice surprise.

During the night we had some rain drops, and we woke up to a cloudy day. This time the clouds remained all through the day.

The day started nicely with some overcast clouds, which made all the difference. It was even chilly for a short while! We hiked out to the A Tree spring and junction, and got some fresh cool water over there.

I worried all through the night about the climb out of Sierra City. In the morning, we got our stuff together, and went to get breakfast at the Red Moose Cafe, behind which we have tented last night. Almost everyone inside was a hiker, and we got a table, and both had the eggs breakfast with no meat. It took a long time for the scrambled eggs and two toasts to appear…

After waking up too early in the morning, because the hikers nearby were not very quiet when they got up in the morning, we finally headed out to our long day.
