| Lassen - the #1 highlight of the trip so far. |
HOME: Quincy, CA. Featherbed Inn
DISTANCE: Rainy day layover
WEATHER: RAIN, but warm
NARRATIVE:
Neither one of us felt like biking this AM. The alarm went off, we delayed getting up, thought maybe Graeagle only 30 miles away would be a good place for tonight, then do the bigger miles to Truckee. We were still debating this as we went to breakfast (not fully packed like usual) when we felt mist. Must be fog. It was not supposed to rain. B&B owner conferred that the forecast said no rain, but that’s not fog. OK, Graeagle it is. Then the mist turned to actual rain. Our decision was made. Stay here in comfort for another day.
We had a very relaxing day planning our next week. We are no longer going to Truckee – tomorrow, Sierraville; Wed, Meeks Bay (which we really like; we stayed there at the start of a month backpacking trip a few years ago); Markleeville, Walker, Lee Vining, then up over Tioga to the Valley. Unfortunately, that put us in the Valley on Sat. night with nowhere to stay – everything was all filled up. On to plan B, which has us camping somewhere on the way down to the valley and then staying Sunday in the Valley (openings). Weather is supposed to be good, but then it wasn’t supposed to rain here today, either. Hopefully, we don’t have to go to plan C.
We had a fun dinner at a place called Pangea – Mexican food with a blue-grass band:)
