The July Fourth weekend is upon us and the weather has gotten very hot. Here is the crisp dry grass of the Hat Creek Rim and the shadeless trail as it proceeds ever northward. I quickly resupplied in the Town of Burney then immediately got back on trail to get to Burney Falls State Park for the night. There I got a shower, but had to dry off without a towel. Also I switched to new undies. My clothes have not been washed since South Lake Tahoe and are absolutely filthy. However there hadn’t been an easy opportunity to do them yet.
