I did the final four miles to Saddle Junction yesterday and took the Devil's Slide Trail down to Idylwild - a 2.5 mile side trail. Idylwild is a very nice, walkable town and I split a two-bedroom cabin with another hiker. First stop in town - Red Kettle Cafe for a breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon - and hot coffee.
After picking up my resupply package today, I have more food than I can carry for the next section of the hike. I unfortunately had to ditch a bag of snickers and half a package of dark chocolate covered mint espresso beans...shame!
I am going to catch a ride to the trail parking lot today at two and then hike up to the junction to find a place to camp for the night before tackling the peak of Jacinto tomorrow.
Great progress Russ. Dan and Matt and I will be thinking of you when we get together in Seattle next week. Love,DAD
