Success! I woke up on time today. As I ate breakfast all the hikers started leaving camp.. well okay I woke up at a reasonable time. I ran down to the river, filtered water, and got going. The very first part of the day was 800 feet elevation gain over 2 miles, then downhill for …
I woke up and looked at my watch. 9:00AM. I slept in. I unzipped my tent and poked my head out. 90% of the hikers had packed up and left. I scanned the ground and saw Exo's stuff was gone too. I shrugged thinking "That's how it goes out here". Since I didn't have anyone …
It's that time again. I woke up in the hotel room and got everything together. "You excited to get back to the trail?" Asked my dad. I kinda just sat there. I don't really know, I don't feel excited over it anymore. It's just my life at this point. I don't know how to put …
I kept waking up throughout the night due to either the wind or being cold. I was too lazy to put on extra layers and I paid the price. I also didn't clip my quilt down to my sleeping pad like I usually do. Could I have done any of these things during the night …
I woke up. Oh, I'm not in my tent. That's weird. I looked at my watch: 9:00AM. Oh, I slept in. That's weird. I walked outside to smoke. It's overcast and cold. Oh.. that's weird. Well at least I don't have to worry about the heat! That means I can be lazy and leave late …
Today is goal day: Eat all of the food at Cajon Pass. I wake up at five in the grey morning by the lake. Cowboy camping is awesome, though it got a little windy last night I stayed pretty warm. I'm going to have to do it again sometime, there's nothing like waking up directly …
I woke up late today. Oops. That doesn't happen too often, but I'm glad I was able to get some extra sleep. As long as I get up before 12 I can make my usual mileage, so it's not a huge deal. Since it rained last night I had to drag my half-dry clothes into …
Another great night of sleep. I woke up in my tent and everything just felt incredibly comfortable. Soft quilt, soft inflatable pillow.. I had a hard time working up the will to deflate my mattress to get going. I laid in my tent for a while and listened to the stream nearby work its watery …
I always get lousy sleep my first night back on trail. My sleeping pad is comfortable, but it doesn't hold a candle to a big bed where I can sprawl all over the place and leave limbs drooping off any of the four sides. Despite that, I woke up feeling awesome. Today I will get …
Today's a big day for reasons. Reason 1: Yes, I'm back after roughly a week of being lazy all over the place waiting for my knee to heal. Reason 2: I'm going to work very hard to get the hell out of Big Bear. After being stuck at this point on the trail for who …
