Feeling bold and brave, we finally left the house on a short afternoon trip, never farther than a half hour drive from home. We explored the famed Gold Rush route into California. Here's the story if you'd care to tag along -

Thanks for sharing your backcountry experience. It generates a happy feeling just looking at your photos. It is good to know only a bit of work is required to get away from the maddening crowds! We have frequently observed that you can leave most people behind if you are willing to get 30 minutes away, by vehicle or foot, from the more popular places.

I didn't know about the 49er tree. Very sad story. I seem to find more markers when I'm "not" looking for them. Found this one recently.

Great read...thanks. The Desert Trip Crew was skunked on the Emigrant Trail two years ago due to wet conditions. Exploring the trail network is high on my list.
