SIERRA CITY
Drove to Sierra City to resupply our hikers. Very nice small town... The views getting there are really stunning...
SARDINE LAKE
On the drive back from Sierra City we stopped at Sardine Lake. There is an upper lake (the larger one) and a lower lake. Very nice lakes, but crowded... must be summer!!
Quincy-Laporte Road
Traveled on this road to surprise our hikers with an unplanned reunion with ice cold gatorades. Beautiful drive with thick forest and river crossings as you can see...
Hydrated and ready to go...
BUCKS SUMMIT
The team stayed one very short night with us to resupply. The next morning we drove to Bucks Lake Summit to drop them off. Had an unexpected adventure... Almost to the peak, we found a guy that had just crashed his motorcycle. We stopped and helped him until he was in the ambulance and eventually in a helicopter that would take him to the trauma center in Chico. Later than anticipated, we left the guys to continue the trail...
At Bucks Lake Summit we met "Coppertone"... This guy has spent the last 4 summers driving along the PCT to give the hikers fruit, cookies and according to our hikers "The best Root Beer Floats in the World"!!!

We received an update that the motorcyclist had a broken arm and leg, but he will be fine... Success!
We left Quincy today, but made some good friends and will miss the area... We will be back!!!
