There was a heat wave in northern California the past week, with temperatures well over 100/40, low humidity, winds -- a fire fighter's nightmare. Clouds moved in yesterday, and temps have cooled, but the air is now filled with a haze, obscuring all views, possibly due in part to the various fires in northern California.
My friend Shane took his weekend in the middle of his business trip to Phoenix to fly up and meet me at Castle Crag park for a day in Redding to clean up, resupply, and refuel while catching up. I'm making a 5000 foot ascent today with clean clothes and a pack full of food, fueled and rested. Thanks, Shane!
