Day 22
Start: Hat Creek (mi 1367.2)
End: Near Lost Creek (mi. 1382)
Total trail miles: 292

Before going up the dry Hat Creek Rim, I stopped at JJs Cafe for a much needed burger and beer. Next door a great camp store saved me from drinking unfiltered water from the rest of the trip #NoFilterNoMore

At the top of the Rim I still had site of Kimosabe (pictured) and Maps. After today, they would be a few miles ahead each day. Kimo quickly made friends with a group of golf buddies visiting the area and scored some trail magic. Folks are always interested and friendly about hikers.

I saw some curious animals, especially cows, who seemed bothered that we were hiking in their grazing land.

Finally, I made it almost to the only water available on the Rim, camping just past Kim, who was a couple miles short.
