Week 3 On the Trail

Week three has been tough - really tough!

I've had freezing nights, winds that have almost succeeded in blowing me off my feet, and did succeed in blowing my glasses off my face and over the side of a mountain. An unexpected snow storm required me to dig myself out of my tent! 

Water Water Everywhere

The water situation can be a bit grim at times.  Here are some appetizing sources of liquid nourishment. The blue bucket makes it a bit easier to collect water from a natural spring dripping down. 

Only 2, 444.9 miles to go!

Palm Springs

Looking at Palm Springs.  Beautiful sunrise colors from 8,000 feet up over Palms Springs.
​'xcuse me while I kiss the sky!

Some burn areas and blow-downs on the trail.
