Picked up a hitch hiker under the bridge.

Heard this danger noodle start to rattle, so I stopped and looked around…he was 2 feet from me. About 4 feet long and not happy. Took 200 miles of trail to see my first rattler.

The San Bernardino mountains from 8000 feet, on fuller ridge. I get to descend 7000 feet to the desert in the next 18 miles, then go back up into those mountains. The altitude started to get to me today too, hope it gets better.

Is it enough for 5 or 6 more days on the trail? I hope so

Visibility at 20 feet, windy, misty, hours and hours of pretty lights in my ears. Not a cloud in the sky this morning. About 7 miles to idyllwild where a motel awaits.

Pampering myself

Hit 100 miles tonight at about 845pm. Rolled into a crowded camp with a few trail angels near by. Food, beer, guitar, and good vibes were all inclusive. Not a whole week has gone by yet and I'm loving the experience.
