Day 22

Miles hiked: 17
Campsite location: mile 292
Weather: 60s and sunny
One word to describe the day: tired

Went to breakfast in big bear with Mel and Caroline. Shipped some things home and got back on trail with a heavy pack and 6 days of food. I felt pretty tired all day. Ive noticed the first day back on trail after a town day is the hardest for me, both mentally and physically. I felt like I was asleep waking the last couple of miles. I did have a tasty dinner. Instant mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, gravy, freeze dried vegetables and bacon all mixed together. Thanksgiving in a bowl!

Today was nice and easy. As far as elevation goes. The scenery was gorgeous and we had a pretty drastic landscape changed from pines to desert again. Tomorrow we go to the deep Creek hot springs and hit mile 300!Read more
