Lassen peaks

Yesterday at noon I was at an elevation of about 200 feet in Chico.
Today around 6 pm I was starting my descent from 8500 feet, the
highest point along the Lassen Park Road.


At the top, there were frozen lakes and snowfields. The way down was
so cold I had wool socks on over my gloves and wore a kind of
wrestler's mask under my helmet. Frank and Nicole, I feel like you
gave me that mask thing for my birthday...well, it's coming in handy
against all odds.


Big thanks to Alex & family at the summit today for filling my water
bottles--I made it to Lake Manzania.


Ahh, PB&J under a flashlight, what a nice bedtime snack.

Hi Uncle Jon,

It's me Emma. Rub your hands together to stay warm. I am getting a new bike with gears. Maybe I can ride with you a little when we meet up at the end of the month.

I love you:)
Have a great adventure!
Emma
