Foggy Forest and Homeward Bound and Home

Sunday October 13, 2024 Leaving Plumas National Forest CA.

Foggy forest

It drizzled all night, very light, not even enough to get the ground wet.

This morning the forest was all fogged in, giving the forest a mystical look.fog1

The fog cleared out around 9AM and the sun was out nicely to warm us up.camp2

We had a few hours to travel today, so we took off around noon, so we wouldn’t get to our next destination too soon.

This is the road we took from our camp site heading out on our trek home.road3

We traveled through some big meadows.meadow4

We stopped here for a short break.vans5

And then continued on heading out of the forest.cattle6

The road is getting a bit wider and in better shape indicating we are getting closer to a paved road.road7

We stopped here by a little pond we wanted to check out.vans8

This is the pond we checked out.pond9

After that, we were able to find some cell phone service so we stopped and I did my blog postings.

Paved roads

Then it was all paved roads towards home.road10

Camp

We traveled about three hours to a place called Bullard’s Bar Reservoir, just past Downieville CA. where we have a special place to camp for the night.

Tomorrow we do the final day to home.

Nice day.

Next day

We drove the rest of the way home today and made it ok.

First thing I did was hop on my dirt bike and go for a ride.

Nice day.

Some Rain and Setting Up For the Drive Towards Home

Saturday October 12, 2024 Plumas National Forest CA.

Published 4 blogs today. Look in the sidebar for recent posts.

Morning

The creek looked real inviting this morning, so I plopped my chair down with a cup of coffee in hand to enjoy it.creek1

Camp

This is our camp this morning with Marty taking a little snooze.vans2

Clouds

It wasn’t long before the clouds started moving in on us and we got a few drops of rain.clouds3

Crawdads

Marty retrieved his trap this morning, empty. It appears there are so many otters here that they are eating most of the crawdads.trap4

Moving out

We decided to move camp around one. We are moving to a place just on the edge of the forest to setup the two day trip towards home.

We dropped out of the hills and headed across this valley.rocky6

The road was pretty good, although a bit rocky in places.road7

We crossed this valley over to the forest on the other side to locate a camp for the night.road8

Camp

We found a camp on this dead-end road which will do nicely for the night.camp

Walk

After settling into camp, I went for a little walk around the forest, near the vans.walk11

I walked through here taking my time.walk14

I went as far as that ridge up ahead where I turned around and found my way back to the vans.walk13

I was sitting in camp in my chair when this little critter caught my eye as he came almost into camp. Appears he found something on  the ground that Marty had thrown out.chip12

He was making a meal of it.chippy10

Heading for home

Tomorrow we will start the trek home and will drive about three hours to our next camp near Downieville CA.

Nice day.
