THACKER PASS AND THE UGLY TRADITION OF EXTRACTION WITHOUT INDIGENOUS PERMISSION
By Tokata Iron Eyes
Peehee mu'huh (or #ThackerPass, as it’s known in English), a sensitive wilderness area located in what is now called #HumboldtCounty, #Nevada, sits on the ancestral homelands of the #Paiute and #Shoshone peoples. Right now, these lands are threatened by a #lithium mining project being developed by a company called #LithiumNevada, a subsidiary of #LithiumAmericasCorp .

Throwback to this idyllic path to the cliff edge at #SueMegStatePark, in Trinidad, California. This little 'secret path' is what makes campsite 105 so special.
Waking up to sunrays piecing the marine layer fog drifting through the cypress canopy, the crashing ocean beyond the cliffs a few steps away, and campfire smoke. My kind of morning.

One road open, one not, but getting to these seasonal ponds was a mix of #hike and thrash with a surprising number of violets found along the way.

I see giant yellow banana slugs all the time, living here in #HumboldtCounty , but this is the first black slug I've seen.
A hike in search of #wildflowers, so I may have gone a little overboard showing them. However, I was looking for one specific flower and none of them are it! The search comes with a nice peak.

Just a short hike to get to the highest point of the Lassics, an area of great botanical interest and more: new post at https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/black-lassic.html

I don’t know how I ended up living in a region where restaurants put cream in their vongole and no cream in their bolognese.

Out to see the big redwood trees on a new trail! This one starts off in old growth, but then climbs through thinning big trees and into an old clear cut that isn't that old. They're still a lot nicer than what you'll find on the other side of the ridge where logging continues to this day. (Less than 5% of the old trees remain.)

#Wildfire can spread rapidly. Don't let it catch you unprepared. Make sure you have a go-kit packed so that you are ready should an evacuation occur without notice.
