Hey, I’m writing this from Warners Springs. I hadn’t planned to stop here but I’m cold and wet. That’s right the broiling Southern California desert is cold, windy, and wet. I just crossed the San Felipie Hills wearing a down vest, a fleece balaclva, and a rain coat.
I can’t Twitter because I have lost my reading glasses, again. They don’t sell them in this town but I’m sure Idywild will have some. I should be there in three days or so.
I have only met one thru- hiker and that was in Lake Morena. I haven’t seen him since. Pretty much the whole trail is mine.
It’s cool and the desert is in bloom. So, the only draw back to starting late has been that I have to kick out the miles. I have committed to 25 miles a day with no days off which has been a little hard to start out with, but I think I’m adjusting.
