Saturday: (08/15) Up early, breakfast at the cafe with Toucan and Bonanza. Excellent food. I waited for the Post Office to open at noon.
The burrito like Toucan and Bonanza had. My meager repast, a California omelet, on the right.
The town of Seiad Valley in one building.
Notice the XX in a circle emblem on the wall of the restrooms above. Seiad Valley is part of, or wants to be part of, the State Of Jefferson. The State Of Jefferson wanted to create a new state from parts of Southern Oregon and Northern California. Possibly some folks actually want to do it but I think it is mostly for the tourists now.
I updated my blog and Facebook as I waited for the Post Office to open at noon. Interestingly, when I entered the box area a couple of minutes before noon I was motioned inside. The clock on their wall was 8 minutes faster than my phone which, of course is accurate time. I could have entered 6 minutes earlier. Darn. I loaded my pack and headed over to lunch, an avocado chicken melt with peanut butter milkshake. Yum!
Then I was off down the road to the trail head .8 miles West of town. There is a 4200 foot climb over 7 miles exiting town. I made six miles before stopping for the night at MM1660. I pitched my tent on a thin rock ridge.
