Onwards to Canada!
24. Mai in den USA ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
I've traveled some good distances the last couple of days, ticking off 20.6 miles yesterday and 19.2 miles today. And I've passed the 300 mile mark!
Hot Springs!

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 howWeiterlesen
ReisenderThanks Don, we are on our way back now. A long and expensive detour, but necessary
400 miles
29. Mai in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
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. Mai in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 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
ReisenderBeautiful, you’re doing so good Lauren, wow it’s been over a month now, keep it up 😀
🔥🔥🔥

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 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 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 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Nothing sparks joy quite like a long ascent out of town with a 5 day food carry 🥵
More trail treats

ReisenderThere’s nothing like a refreshing drink along the trail no doubt, in the shade too :)
Ankle troubles 🦴
3. Juni in den USA ⋅ 🌙 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 byWeiterlesen

Magic in the mountains

ReisenderThat looks amazing! It must be wonderful to come across this type of kindness as you travel through. The oranges 🍊 look wonderful!
ReisenderThe 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 😆
ReisenderMildly tragic, I'm just tired of this particular meal. It won't be in the next resupply haha
Trail angel Abel
8. Juni in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 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 backWeiterlesen
