Well, I got some of the Snickers. I ate my half and left the rest for Carrie in the wrapper on the picnic table. We left the Snickers at the table while we finished packing up the tent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>When Carrie returned to the picnic table the Snickers wrapper was still there but the hunk of pure energy was missing. A mystery was afoot. The game was on. Who stole Carrie&#8217;s Snickers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We searched the picnic table for clues. There were no fingerprints on the wrapper but mine. Drat! Then Carrie noticed a piece of tree bark on the table.

Carrie would never be able to recover her Snickers from the evil Dick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucky for us we had a short ride planned. From our campground south of McCloud we rode over one major hill to the eclectic town of Mt. Shasta, where the town&#8217;s namesake looms like the top of a vanilla ice cream cone in the eastern horizon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-5293\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1070931-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5293\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1070931-01.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1070931-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1070931-01-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Carrie collected some butterflies on the road to Mt.
