In the morning, Stephen drove us the 2 hours back to the trailhead, giving us a great tour of the North Umpqua River along the way.

Once we got to the trail, I ran into someone that loyal readers might remember from a loooong time ago: Hot Sauce Monologues! The last time I saw her was Silverwood Lake, 1,500+ miles ago! It turns out she is up here, shuttling people around the fire. Crazy.

So anyway, Scrappy and I hiked in some 24 miles, and here are the pictures because nothing else of note happened.

Mount Thielsen. No, I didn't climb it.Mount Thielsen. No, I didn't climb it.

Rocks, clouds, and smoke.Rocks, clouds, and smoke.
