Feather River - Buck's Lake 7/31/10 11 miles

had a good time last night and an even better morning. We slept in and talked to Chris and he said he would give us a ride to town. His truck was parked 1/4 mile up the trail. Yes, we cheated because we didn't walk to Buck's Lake, but I got to go four wheeling, which I'd been wanting to do for so long. It saved our sore Croc'ed feet and got us to our new shoes faster. We got to Buck's Lake, went by the store and got some refreshments and then headed to the Williams, the local trail angels. These folks were the greatest family we'd met yet! They gave us our new shoes that we had had mailed there. Sweet! The first question they asked was if we were hungry. Always. We had cheese burgers with fresh tomatoes and had some good company with their huge family. Nice cabin, free lunch and showers. We hopped on the computer for a wile and then it was dinner time. Pot roast, potatoes, carrots, squash, zucchini, garlic bread and topped of with homemade ice cream and strawberry cheesecake. I hurt myself eating as usual. We had some drinks by the fire after dinner with the family. They were farmers, so we swapped stories. I had to lay down and rest my belly. Kristi lost me and they were asking her where her husband was, haha. We got to sleep in a real bed with our bellies nice and full, dreaming of our new shoes. What a great family! -CM
