I arrived in Campo, Monday, on the evening bus, and started my hike. About 11pm, as I was happily hiking along, an aircraft flew over me and turned it’s spotlight on me. I waved.
The trail is beautiful and I’m very happy to be here. Despite the drought, everything is green and the desert is blooming.
The weather is great and I have been able to sleep under the stars every night without any bug problems.
My feet are doing fine. The two pair of shoes idea is working out great. I hike mostly in Chacos but when my feet get tired I switch into running shoes and give them a break.
I hitched into Julian this morning, and plan on hanging out here until evening, then start hiking the San Felipe hills tonight.
Not many hikers out here, but some. The guy at the Mt Lagna store said that he had thrown the hiker box away because he thought that all the hikers had gone through already.
Why did it take me so long to get back here?
Glad to see you got off to a good start… you’ll probably start catching up with the stragglers pretty soon.
Glad you’re back out there. Keep us posted when you can.
