TreknMike

I hiked 16.2 miles from Washington (CA) west to the Missouri Bar trail to the spot Terry and I hiked from the opposite direction the week before. No way was Handy going with me this time – not dealing with those tics! Handy still has red bumps on her skin from the tic bites the previous week.

(I repeated this hike on Feb. 7.  Again, Handy didn’t go – sorry little buddy.  This time, I pulled one tic off me and a week later I still have a little red bump/bruise.  All this to try and get in shape for Nepal, which is knocking on the door in less than 6 weeks.)

My good friend, Terry, and I hiked 16 miles along the South Yuba River from the South Yuba Campground, near Nevada City, east to the Missouri Bar Trail. First real hike of the year. I was a little sore the next few days. As usually, Terry was ready for another 16 miles. Handy went too. She had fun until we returned home and I pulled more than 50 tics off her!
