Both Black Lassic and Red Lassic are in Trinity County. The border runs right through there (Mt. Lassic is in Humboldt). And all three of these peaks are about 10 miles west of South Fork Mountain. Makes me a little skeptical about what I might learn from ISF if I were to go on the trip.

South Fork Mountain is mostly in Trinity County, although the north end, north of Blake Mountain is in Humboldt. Do people not have maps anymore?
