Wasnt 100% sure where to put this, feel free to move it.
This last weekend was the Veteran Overland Veterans Day camping trip in Northern California in the Klamath National Forest. We loaded up and headed out after work Thursday and drove down to Klamath Falls Oregon for the first night. Pulling off in Bend for fuel and food we found this and had to pull off for a pic lol.
The next morning in California, driving around mount shasta
'
Friday night, most of us were there but were still missing about 5 people. there were 30-35 people total including three vet connects (2 of which we flew in from PA and FL)
It was a little cold over night but not bad
Saturday we were led on a guided tour of the backwoods and two fire lookout towers, 7 hours and 68 miles later with 17 rigs in the convoy
ran into a few patches of snow
This one was missing steps and boards on platforms, I was not climbing this one lol. One of the fire tower supervisors got stuck in this one during a lightning storm, sitting on a stool on isolators when the tower got hit by lightning, all the metal glowed blue.
Saturday night/sunday morning the weather had turned and was calling for significant snow fall at lower elevations than we were so everyone packed it in. Some went home (like us), some changed locations (the vet connects flights werent till Monday iirc).
breakfast sandwiches
