Want to document and share your hike with friends and family?
got a ride back to the trailhead at 7:30 and back on trail by 8am. Wish I'd started 2 hours earlier. Damn was it a hot one. Very few places to break out of the sun. Went 13 miles until the first water resupply and was down to my last liter for the 2 hours leading in and it was hot and not refreshing. Great water cache with cool water. Did a several hour siesta with rachel and Forrest. I met rachael briefly in mt laguna and just met Forrest today. We all seemed to really click and rachael has invited us to zero with her In 3 days. A plan is hatched for us to all meet at paradise cafe on sunday or Monday. Forrest and I are shooting for Sunday so we can zero instead of nero in town. After our siesta Rachael and I move on to another 3 miles away and forrest stays back. We find a campsite with about 6 others and I'm stoked as I've camped on my own the last 2 nights. Forrest it seems had fomo and shows up before sunset. We all hangout for a few hours before bed. Mistakes realized; that I need to only bring sealed chocolate in the desert and hike more in the mornings and evenings.
