Flanigan Mining District

It was a pretty easy day. When I got to Susanville the terrain started to change. I said good bye to green and lush, and hello brown and dry.

I got a bad case of home sickness today. Wondering why I'm doing what I'm doing. I guess these days are normal, but I haven't been home in 2 months.

There were a few people that I meet today that helped boost my spirits. Two woman in the parking lot of a grocery store. An older woman who was so excited that I was doing what I was doing, and a girl named Annie that gave me her number and address if I need a place to stay in Lake Tahoe. I also chatted about my trip with a man named Scott in Janesville. He also have me a phone number to call if I had any problems between there and Reno.

I have already met so many awesome people who have been so helpful and supportive.

I rode 55 miles and stopped just outside of Doyle. Finding a place to camp is becoming a little more tricky without the cover of trees. I think I did ok. it's a beautiful view. The sunset was amazing!Read more
