I started off the latest bit of mapping with some edits in the Community Forest. The Arcata Ridge Trail is finally done! But the land manager didn’t go and put the new trail on the map. Land managers, why don’t you do this? There were some other little things to deal with.

Then I stepped back in time to the Lassen area, where I hiked a big loop with the PCT and Hat Creek. There’s a lovely and well used trail along Hat Creek, but it wasn’t mapped at all. It’s all better now. I connected the PCT to Hat Creek via a trail that is, as it turns out, only mostly there. The bottom is seeing driving traffic. (Illegal, this is not on the MVUM.) The top is without clue except for a gate in a fence maybe a quarter mile down. In between it becomes animal trail, then obvious enough until a jeep track. (Legal to drive, it is on the MVUM.) It vanished a moment again, but probably due to me going the wrong way. It was really clear lower down. So I added that in with appropriate visibility noted.

The other end I connected via the Subway Cave. I decided not to add the trail the Forest Service had claimed was there. There’s trail around the campground, but not to the cave, and there’s other ways to get there.

I also hiked some of Bizz Johnson. It was missing the (official) bypass trails for the tunnels. The Southside Trail was missing an overlook loop and a connector. It’s also missing a river access and a second route for another overlook, but I didn’t hike those and don’t know where to put them exactly. The other direction was missing trail under the highway. There’s a relation marking it across the highway and that isn’t really how it goes. That is how the old grade went (but there wasn’t a highway then).
