Emigrant Wilderness, July 2000

Day 4: Follow Cherry Creek up to Piute Meadow (rejoining the part of the trail we were on at day 1, then back past Camp Lake and finally back to Crabtree Trailhead.

Left: Lake, log, lilly pads, and Lee.  Casey Lee Bowden that is.  Right: Back at the car with the shoes and pack in full glory.  My car started sputtering while crossing the Bay Bridge and broke down near the top of Pine Street.  Henrik and I managed to push it uphill to a flat area at which point he grabbed his pack and took the BART home.  Otto (my car) was towed to a shop in San Francisco that said I needed a new alternator and quoted me several hundred dollars.  I didn’t believe them and had him towed all the way to my favorite shop, Volks Café, in Santa Cruz (thank goodness for the 100 mile towing radius of AAA Plus).  Peter at Volks Cafe told me that the wire appeared to have come loose but that they (the SF shop) had already fixed it!  Since the SF shop was AAA recommended I wrote AAA a letter but never heard anything about it.
