ganked from crowyhead - I've done this meme before but it always amuses me and the book is different every time ...

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.

They did. Van had Mayor McCheese and Felix used Smurfette. They skipped around the chat channels until they found one with some familiar handles.

(from "When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth," by Cory Doctorow, anthologized in Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse, which is edited by John Joseph Adams and pretty awesome so far though I'm only two stories in.)

Mine, of course, is no surprise at the moment.

Most hikers will want to make the 0.9-mile trek down to this lake's relatively warm waters, for the next PCT campsite with near-water access is the sometimes-overcrowded Tolo Camp, 6.2 miles farther. The lake's shore has abundant space for camping, though until early August a tent is necessary to provide refuge from myriad mosquitoes.

From the PCT's crossing of the Maidu Lake Trail, you can also start south on this trail, which winds 2.0 miles down to Miller Lake Trail 2725, which you can then follow 0.8 mile south over to the Digit Point Campground.
