After getting all the gear/food in REI (one block from our SF office), we hit the road to north east.
**********After driving 4 hours, before going into mountain, we stopped Peter's favorite diner to get some energy. They look relaxed and don't know they have to hike in a dark after this except for Peter...
**********This diner, Black Bear, serves excellent dish in quality, price and amount. You need to try this T-bone meal. Awesome!

After arriving the parking site around 9pm, all of us except for Peter were ready to go to bed by setting up tents next to our car.
Peter: "OK. Take our your flash light. We will hike to camp ground"
Atsushi: "What? Can't we sleep here?"
Peter: "Not allowed"
Guneet: "How far to camp ground? 10 minutes?"
Peter: "3 miles"
Atsushi/Guneet/Egor: "ok......"
We ended up hiking till mid-night with flashlight on our head setting up tents in a dark (even we got lost on the way to camp once...).
Man, Peter knows how to train us in a hard way...
Next morning, We woke up with the strange noise. When we looked out from our tent, deer was looking at us from nearby field. Nice surprise in the morning.
**********
Day 2 starts. Everyone looks clean and fine. We all thought 1st night hike was the hardest hike but we will find out Peter has prepared us with tougher assignment...

Nice work. Reminded me of driving through Mt. Lassen National Park or Forest near the extinct volcano while driving from Southern California on my way to Oregon and Washington. Beautiful country. I came across your blog while blog surfing using the “next blog” button on the Nav Bar of blogger.com. I am continually fascinated by the types of blogs that exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people all over the globe express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
