Trinity Headwaters, California, USA
September 13, 2011
Hike! The headwaters of the Trinity River in Northern California.
Picked up our new friends s and t and drove to down to the headwaters about an hour and a half drive, then strained ourselves on a hike almost all uphill from Deadfall meadow. There were still some wildflowers but will not be for much longer this season.
Was hoping to get wet at the 2nd lake from the feeling of heat from climbing the path, but the lake had too cool of a wind, then the clouds started combining and spitting a few drops on the hurried way back to the car.
On 8/18/11, went for a drive down to Northern California and took a road west from just north of Weed, to see what was in the mountains. After first finding a nudist colony, we continued on the side paved road up the hill on the I P Rd. At the top was lot with some cars parked, at a crossing of the pacific crest trail.
We continued over the hill and down the other side of the mountain. Cme across another small lot across from a meadow of wildflowers. We thought we would stop for a minute, then found our how amazing the flowers were and took some pics.
After, continued on the road then back on a steep CA state highway 3 off the I P road, the went up a beautiful valley I didn’t know existed that led to Yreka.
After returning home, looked up more info on the meadow, and saw there were lakes above, so a place two go back to for sure. Tim went back, then saw how amazing it was, so we invited some friends to take the hike later.
Serena came to visit Ashland to see a few shows with her mom and a friend on August 6, 2011.
I had not seen Serena since the 1985 Santa Rosa High School Graduation. We met at the Oregon Shakespeare Festivals’ Green Show, where I was able to stalk her with the camera for a few minutes before the show was over.
Ballet Folklorico Ritmo Alegre was performing on stage.
We then met up, and went to Blue for some Greek food.
It was great to see such a great friend that was lost to me for so many lost years!
