Carol and I dropped the trailer and buggy off Thursday at Camp Condon on our way through to Capital City. It started the following night … Carol and I returned to Camp Condon after the days work in Sacramento. When we arrived we were greeted by Ken, Angie and Doc their black lab. A few hours later Gene motored in with The Gadget Buggy being flat towed behind his ruby colored pick up. After few well sorted greetings we headed off to a nearby Dinner House that over looked the vistas of the Clear Lake. Food was great and the majestic sunset was a perfect setting for planning the next days outing.
The plan was to be up before the sun and under way before the morning shadows. Morning came before any of us were ready … as per plan we stumbled around in the dark packing the buggies ...
This is the beginning of A2B,
We rounded the western edges of the Clear Lake enroute to Safeway for coffee and sandwiches. The distant mountains were emerging to shadows where shapes began gaining prominence on surrounding mountains … Heading north through Upper Lake leaving Lake County to the assent of almost endless series of switch backs that we used as a single track in the early morning light. Arrival at Lake Pillsbury in the Mendocino National Forest that was drop off point for this day’s adventure through four Counties, of (DUSTY) back roads, in the Northern California Mountains. The day’s destination is 2B a cabin on the banks of the Eel River in Humboldt County a 180 mile away
