Foraging
Well, the snow eventually melted up in the high Sierras, opening the passes up for foot travel, so the pilgrims have picked up their staffs yet again, they are lacing up boots, and planning for an adventurous walk East, to Lake Tahoe. The California/Nevada border is about 60 miles from Nevada City if one follows the hiking trails that go along the Yuba River, and climbs through the cracks and crevices up to Donner Pass, and down through high meadows into the Tahoe Basin. The plan is to walk as a small hiking party, spending time learning about the history, geology, and botany of the Sierras and remebering our inspiration, Frank Cook, all the while, planning, exploring and mapping the last stretch of a 300 plus mile walk that connects the Mendocino Coast, with the eastern border.
