Solo Backpacking South Yuba River Trail, Part 1

Time to finish what I started! Last spring, I tried to complete the South Yuba River Trail, but had to bail due to gear issues. This year, I was determined to finish what I hadn't completed. This is the closest thing I've done to a thru-hike. It's managed in part by USFS and BLM, so there is different information on each site, which I will link below. There isn't a ton of info out there about this full trail, but it can be found with a little digging. I'll also link the AllTrails link, which I don't find is super accurate, but the reviews can be helpful (and I posted one there last year).
