| "A Guy Named Mike's" water tank |
Well, yesterday was supposed to be a zero day at Warner Springs but I hiked another two miles after leaving the Community Center and camped out at mile 113 near a babbling brook, along with several others. Today I had a blistering morning after starting out at 7:30. I hiked fourteen miles by 10 o'clock and rested in "guy named Mikes" yard up in the hills. He wasn't home but he opens his porch and water tank to thru-hikers. The yard is a little suspect, with saws and hatchets hanging up and a skeet shooting setup. But it was greatly needed after a long morning of hiking with minimal shade. I headed out at 3:45 and put in another seven miles before hunkering down in a sandy spot by the trail.
Word from others is that at mile 152 there is a cafe that has a great reputation as a great place for burgers! I am so looking forward to it! If they smell me they may turn me away! Eight days without a shower - another milestone!!
A couple more days to Idylwild!
