Miles today - 15.7
I didn't sleep well last night. The dryness here makes my nose stuffy so I have to breathe through my mouth, but then my mouth gets bone dry in seconds. Also, I think I'm allergic to something here. I was sneezing all night. When I did actually get a little sleep I had one of the worst dreams I think I've ever had. I was happy when morning came around.
I hiked almost the entire day with Charles. He's in his 50's and from San Antonio. I think we're going to head into Julian tomorrow. It was warm and sunny all day again, and the only relief I had in the shade was when I took a break behind a water tank. No natural shade anywhere.
We didn't see many hikers on the trail, but there's a whole bunch of us camping together. When there aren't many water sources around, everybody seems to make them their destination for the day.
Nice to see that there's water for horses! Too bad you don't have one!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds brutal. I hope the heat lets up soon. I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteThat water was consumed by humans that day! Good thing I have a filter.
