Day 58
Lots of epic views again today. The high elevation is starting to take its toll on us.
Day 57
Very excited to get into the mountains. Woke up today with a view of a river and the mountains, it doesn’t get much better. It is starting to cool off quite a bit. A beautiful hike today, lots of meadows and shade.
Day 56
Stopped at the Kern river bridge for lunch. Pushed on to the next crossing to camp. In between went through some beautiful meadows and a burn area. Also saw a nice black bear.
Day 54
Crossed the 700 mile make today! Also make it into Kennedy Meadows but our resupply package did not so we. Will stay the night.
Day 53
Day 52
I got a few days behind on the journal, not much memorable this day.
Day 51
Did a short 3.5 to water and hung out there until the heat of the day passed. Only interruption was a bear cub looking for water and a rattle snake. Made it a few more miles after dark.
Day 50
7 miles to the first water, Joshua Tree spring. A very scenic but exposed hike. Only made it a few more miles as Chris was not taking the heat well.
