Three “hills” to climb today - each 600+ ft of elevation gain.

Start the day with a climb - beautiful golden grassy hills dotted with trees. Mountain views in all directions.

Ran into kaleidescope on the uphill - stopped to chat a bit before finishing the climb and enjoying breakfast and a sit down.

Continued through beautiful flowing pine forests. Some massive downed trees - looks like they went down quite some time ago…

The second climb for the day brings chunky rocks and pine forest, dappled with shade and views!!

****** MILE 600 *****

Road walked through chained off private access roads for the last uphill and last push to reach Steven. Had to crawl through a gate to continue on the road.

Ran into Legendary and Bee - they saw Steven up the road.

Uphill and on the right - Steven and breakfast (potato hash, bacon, eggs, peppers and onions & soda & chips 🤤). We pulled up chairs in the grass and shade and stuffed ourselves.

The remainder of the day was spent relaxing and lounging in the shade. Devon drew and napped, Paul listened to his audiobook and helped Steven organize things, I read and lounged.

**** Happy birthday Naomi **** Thankfully I was able to get a phone call out to Naomi to wish her a Happy Birthday 🎂 💕

Steven made pasta dinner - noodles, sausage and beef with sundried tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onions with cheesey bread sticks 🤤.

Devon and Paul went to bed. Steven and I watched the sunset before I went to read in the roof top tent - Steven stayed up.
