      Day 27

      Day 27

      May 7 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

      6 miles in to Cajón Pass, home of the famous McDonalds.

      We arrived just after 9 am. My favorite McDonalds food is breakfast so I was pleased with our timing.

      My hunger has definitely started to increase, but I tried to make it there without eating before hand. I was close but had to have some quick calories about a mile out.

      I had 2 sausage egg McMuffins, three hash browns and tried a breakfast burrito. They made a mistake and gave me three burritos 😁. Wash all that down with an iced coffee and you have a happy Anna.

      We Ubered to REI for new shoes. I tried on several styles and sizes of Altras but ended up getting my same pair but half a size up.

      There was a chick fil a in the same parking lot, and neither Tux or Rambo had tried it, So we had to show the Europeans what it was all about over lunch.

      Ubered back to the McDonald’s got some more food from there and the gas station then resorted our packs in the sun.

      Hit the trail later in the after noon and hiked 5 more miles.

      Camped at 347.2 with a water cashe.      Read more

      Day 24

      May 26, 2023 in the United States

      Miles hiked: 16.4
      Campsite location: 328.8 Silverwood lake backpacker sites
      Weather: 70s and sunny
      One word to describe the day: worrisome

      Today was a beautiful day, again! We have been so lucky with the temperatures. Usually in May the desert temperatures get up to 100°.

      We walked past silver lake which is a reservoir. And camped on the other side of it in a state campground. Was nice to have trash and restrooms to use. It's the small things on the trail! A few miles before the campground, my ankle started to hurt really badly. It was quite hard to walk and I was hobbling into camp by the time I got there. I elevated my foot and tried to tape it hoping that it would feel better in the morning. It happened so suddenly and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with when I rolled it over the winter in Austria since it's the same foot. Anyways, going to take it very easy tomorrow and hope for the best.      Read more

      Day 25 - cajon pass

      May 26, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

      Miles hiked: 16
      Campsite location: zero in wrightwood
      Weather: 70s and sunny
      One word to describe the day: slow

      Woke up with my ankle feeling better but sore. Most of my trail family is doing 19 mi today to get to the water cache. Tomorrow will be a very hard 22 mile day with over 5500 ft of elevation gain to go into wrightwood for resupply.

      My goal was to do 16 miles to get to cajon pass and eat at the infamous McDonald's that is on trail and decide what to do from there. I got to McDonald's, got a quarter pounder with cheese, fries and a coke.

      I definitely felt better today but decided I was going to skip tomorrow's miles and go straight into wrightwood from cajon pass. Total trail miles I will miss is 27 but I'm listening to my body. I know in the long run it's probably smarter to skip a few miles and take some rest time. My trail family will get into town tomorrow and I'll hop back on the trail with them on Sunday. I'm staying at a trail angels cabin who rents out beds for 30 a night. It's really nice and includes laundry 😍

      Tomorrow is a real zero day for me! Zero miles! Yay!      Read more
