ITHCWY Newsletter for July 2020

Google Photos backup to Google Drive shutting down in July 2019

July has been very nature focused for me: rattlesnake, whale, ospreys, bald eagle and comet NEOWISE. Hikes include Bumpass Hell and the Devils Kitchen at Lassen Volcanic National Park.

I did fit in a whinge about Android usability.

Did the same hike again this year - it's worth repeating. Here are some long exposure shots of the three waterfalls.

Bumpass Hell

Updated on Friday, July 31, 2020

Third time lucky - Bumpass Hell was open for my third trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park. It's a three mile out and back with great views and of course a whole bunch of geothermal features at the end. The trail winds gently up to Bumpass Hell where there is a steep and surprisingly slippery descent (and an alternate route back up for a very small loop at the end of the trail). Very glad to have finally hiked it.
