Location
In the forest west of Susanville, California.
Participants
Expedition
I woke up early in Susanville, jumped on my bicycle, and headed for the Bizz Johnson Trail, which follows an old railroad grade through the canyon east of town. There was a lot of activity and parking attendants at the trailhead, but for a running event rather than to accommodate any expected onslaught of geohashers.
It was cold, and I hadn't had any breakfast, so it felt like a long five miles to the bridge where I left the bike. From there, I had a fairly challenging scramble up the canyon wall, step by step, pulling myself along with my arms a lot of the times, and occasionally crawling through the rough bits. Predictably, once I pulled myself over the rim, I found the perfectly convenient and well-marked walking path to the top that I hadn't noticed before. From there, it was just a few minutes strolling through an open fragrant forest to the hashpoint.
It was a bit warmer by the time I was back at the bicycle, and it also turned out that I had been just slightly climbing on the way to the hashpoint, so the ride back to the hotel was quick and triumphant.
