    • North of San Francisco, CA, is vast farmland and beautiful coastline. A rainbow touches this lone tree and is where a pot of gold lies.
    • A dazzling display of color is softened by mist above Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Paradise is home to some of the most vibrant, vivid and brilliant wildflowers you'll ever see in your life. So much so that it's carved in the steps of the trail in a quote by John Muir.
    • I get to Warden's Field and see a ranger's truck. JOURNAL DAY FOURTEEN TRIP 150 TRAIL Brush Mountain/South Fork/Warden's Field/Rocky Flats CAMP Ed Abbey Camp A LIGHTEST RAIN I perceive it in a couple strange ways cuz I'm half asleep and so I think it's really not rain and also gather another weird sensation which I can't put into words as if there's no real rain just the idea of rain. It's 1:30 so I go out to tighten up the slack kerlon and ponder a night of rain and high water but whoa it won't come to that as there is no rain and what came was a drizzle. Anyway, undefeated Missouri is now out and beat by South Carolina in overtime. This shakes up the National championship prospects. Now it's down to Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and Ohio. LSU is out, Georgia is out, SC and OK and TX and Nebraska and Stanford are out. SLEEPING IN I'm up at 9 in the morning which I guess I need the extra sleep and so I go out to manhandle the male man hose and then pop in for yoga and now sit with a pot of coffee. ENGINE BLOCK REPRIEVE I left Bug Gap and pulled the Testicle Creek climb and the long Ike Peak dogleg down to the Brush Creek watershed and the slanted rock and now sit at the engine block on the left bank with 2 more fords and then the big South Fork crossing. I'm hot and bothered with sweat and my silk long sleeve baselayer is wet but who the heck cares as long as I make it down to the SF which will happen in the next 30 minutes. Most of this trail is an ankle eater because the last section from the dogleg down is on a billion rocks. Get used to it and have fun. SOUTH FORK CROSSING I'm across and back in boots after my new crocs have done a total of 14 creek crossings on the trip. My old red crocs had about a thousand but so what? It took over 2 hours to descend Brush Mt as it's 12 O'Clock noon with enough time to pass thru Warden's Field and start up the Rocky Flats trail with tools in hand. I got 3 or 4 orange ribbons off the Brush trail which were extras and won't be missed and I hope to use them on the Rocky Flats. I hope the trail isn't totally screwed up like the Brush or the Nut used to be. WARDEN'S FIELD It's almost empty except for a final camp downstream from the bridge which looks to be all men with 4 cars and maybe some hunting dogs. Old mountain man Steve Gray could be part of the group but I'll never know since I'm not interested in talking. I'll eat a larabar and a fig bar and sip cold coffee and be on my way. It seems maybe I'll be hiking Rocky Flats twice---in and out---so I can exit for my evac in 5 days. A good plan is Beehouse Gap and Flats Mt but we shall see. The boys are getting up and eyeballing me so it's time to take off the shades and grab the saw and leather gloves and pruners and begin the mighty Rocky Flats. ED ABBEY CAMP The Rocky trail has been completely cleared to the top of Abbey Branch Creek but I'm camped a hundred yards down from the top at my usual left bank flat spot which is perfect for the tube uterus. Tomorrow's plan obviously is to finish working this trail and then it's up for grabs for a couple days. Tipi Walter
