Day 20 - Big Miles and Sore Feet

Day 20 - Tuesday, May 15
Big Bear City (265.3) to Holcomb Creek (292)
Miles today - 26.7

A group of us got a taxi ride back to the trail and we were hiking by 7:00 am. It was easy walking most of the day and we made quick miles. There were some good views down into the Big Bear area where we spent the last two days in town.



Even with a late start this morning, we did 20 miles by 2:00, which was our original destination for the day. My feet were really hurting and I would have been happy to stay there, but everyone wanted to go on at least a couple more hours. After a long break my feet felt better and I decided to push on with the group.



We hiked through a large burn area and then down into a canyon, where we eventually found a suitable place to camp along the creek, and near a bees nest. I'm here with Brother Man, Yankee Son, and Hallmark. Just Retired, a 66 year old who just retired from the military, came in a while after us. There are a bunch of others camped nearby.
