Day 83 – 85, Belden to Chester, mile 1331

Song of the post – “Maybe it was Memphis” by Pam Tillis

After returning from the wedding, we got back on trail pretty early. Cliff tackled a 5000 ft climb, starting at around 6am to escape the heat, i started later to trail angel with Char Char.

Mike and Sam’s wedding
Good times had by all

These next two days of hiking exposed us to much more burned forest, meaning little sun protection and alot of dirt. This section was also somewhat momentous, as we hit the halfway point.

Now all we have to
do is this all over again

Because we only did a short supply from Belden, we got off trail at the end of day two, and hitched into the town of Chester for a resupply to get us to Burney, CA. That will be a 4-5 day hike. This section will be pretty flat, alot of sun, and and scarce water.
