“O beneficent Lover of mankind, if You pour out Your grace on the grass, the flowers and all the plants of the earth in their season, then all the more You will give Your servant what he asks for. 

Because the air becomes clear and all the birds ornament their songs with different tunes, singing praise to Your splendid wisdom. 

The fullness of the earth is robed with the garment of various colored flowers woven without the aid of human hands, and is joyful and celebrates each holy day. 

Water my heart also with the dew of Your grace, O Lover of mankind. 

So as the field which is sown is unable to sprout and feed its vegetation without enough rain, so my heart is unable to yield anything pleasing to You and to bear fruits of truthfulness without Your grace. 

Indeed, the rain refreshes the vegetation and the trees are adorned with a variety of flowers. 

Let the dew of Your grace illuminate my mind and let it decorate my heart with the flowers of remorse, humility, love and long-suffering. 

Let my prayer draw close to You, O Lord. Plant Your holy seed in me, that I should bring You a harvest of bundles, overflowing in good fruits and to say, "Glory to Him Who provided me with this so that I should bring it to Him." 

And then to bow before the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

~St. Ephraim the Syrian

Scott Mountain Summit

It is unfortunate that many PCT hikers have been numbed by the spectacular vistas of the High Sierra if they are NOBO and the North Cascades if they are SOBO . . . as may other places in the Lower 48, the Trinity Alps would elicit a real sense of ooohs and aaawhs. Part of the PCT's westward plunge across I-5 into the Klamath Knot, the section from Scott Mountain Summit (5,554') to Carter Meadows (6,100) is but 20 miles long . . . but it stays high throughout with abundant vistas.

I was with a trail crew working on nearby trails this past week and was reminded, once again. just how beautiful this area is.

Once the domain of the Shasta and the Wintu peoples, white settlers established the route over Scott Mountain Summit as a pack trail in 1851 and as a stage road by 1860. The route, now Hwy 3, was known as the Western California - Oregon Trail. With the completion of the railroad along the Sacramento River, this toll road fell into disuse by 1887.

#OTD in 1920 – Death of Percy French, writer of many popular Irish songs, including the Mountains of Mourne.

William Percy French was born on 1 May 1854 near Roscommon. (William would be known as Willie until taking the name Percy as his stage name much later). His father was a landlord and his mother’s father was a clergyman. Despite the lack of music background in his family, Willie demonstrated talent for music and entertaining early in life. He performed as a child in the district and when he was a…
