Back on trail after a couple of days rest. What a view to see us off
Onwards to Canada!

Sadly, the trail closure around Wrightwood (due to the Bridge fire last year) was extended just days before we arrived in Wrightwood. With not much info available, it's been a scramble to work out howLæs mere
400 miles

This one didn't feel like quite the same victory after skipping 40 miles to get here. Only 300 miles to the Sierras though!
Good morning from the trail
30. maj, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
It's predicted be a balmy 38° today. I'm starting early to get ahead of the heat. Shady siestas may be in order

It's been a scorcher. Temperatures north of 40° called for a quiet day in the shade from midday. Heading back out into the night to tackle more miles 🌙

Hiker trash lifestyle
1. juni, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
When your only plan is to avoid hiking in the heat and you don't plan where to sleep. Scrubby area next to the road it is!
Big hill, much food
2. juni, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Nothing sparks joy quite like a long ascent out of town with a 5 day food carry 🥵

Ankle troubles 🦴
3. juni, Forenede Stater ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
A bit of a tough day with a flare up of an old ankle condition. I managed just 11 miles before deciding it was best to stop early and hope for better tomorrow. We made the most of the afternoon byLæs mere

RejsendeThat looks amazing! It must be wonderful to come across this type of kindness as you travel through. The oranges 🍊 look wonderful!
RejsendeThe trail angel looking after this spot stopped by to refill the water tanks while we were there. He brought all the snacks and cold drinks with him. Such a treat after a very sad lunch today 😆
RejsendeMildly tragic, I'm just tired of this particular meal. It won't be in the next resupply haha
Trail angel Abel
8. juni, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We were lucky enough to be picked up by trail angel, Abel, yesterday. He was waiting at the first trail exit to Tehachapi to see if any hikers wanted a ride to town.
Today, he offered to take us backLæs mere
