I'm sitting in my car at what I'm calling the "Deadfall lakes PCT trailhead", AKA "Parks Creek Road Trailhead" above Stewart Springs Road northwest of Weed. It would be about a 10 mile hike up Mt Eddy from here, though I don't have that planned this time here.
My tent is set up with rain fly because rain (or snow at this 7k ft elevation) is forecast, and it is indeed much colder than it has been the last week of record heat for this time of year.
I had a nice afternoon hike here, to Middle Deadfall lake. I came here mainly to scout out the snow situation. It is completely snow-free and dry. I did my hike in sandals.
I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow morning with a dusting of snow on everything, for some good photo ops. I may do another hike in the other direction in the morning if it's not too clouded in. Then I'll probably head back down to Weed or on to Yreka (via the Gazelle-Callahan road which is the next road pass north of here, to Hwy 3 past Etna, to Yreka.)
