Bad smoke day
This is the second time I had to wear an N95 mask as I had to be outside for an extend period of time. What an uncomfortable mask but it works! – Lake Tahoe, California

Bear
I was avoiding this creek since the last bear encounter but it was time to try again. I’ve hiked this trail 2 days in a row and no bears have been spotted. However, a bear came to visit my camp this afternoon and it was a big one! – Lake Tahoe, California

Still smokey and couldn’t see the mountains on the Nevada side, but the sky above me was blue! – Lake Tahoe, California

My new gadget arrived!
Water filter I can take on hiking. Several people recommend Sawyer so that’s what I bought. I might attempt to hike to Lost Lake again… Last time I was running out of water and had to turn around even though I took a lot of water with me. I underestimated the heat and the trail (12.2 miles/1,700ft hike) – Lake Tahoe, California
