Day 29:

Day 24: I will camp at the trailhead tonight and start again tomorrow. Our biggest concern at the moment is making it to the Sierras too early. If I knew I was this strong I would have picked a later start date. There are very few people ahead of us. We are the crew keeping the map up to date now.

Day 19: Some days can be tough, but a good meal or a beautiful sunset makes it worth it. Today we hiked into a small town near Big Bear Lake. I have been on the trail for the last 4 days. Tonight I have booked a room alone. 8 others got an Air BNB, but I wanted to be alone for the night. I will do laundry, eat a good meal, and rest. I will meet with the others on the way back to the trail tomorrow morning. Big Bear Lake:

Day 18: 2 miles from camp, all downhill from here. We are staying at Arrastre/Deer Springs campground tonight.
