Our path wends almost effortlessly through the San Bernardios. A day that
walking feels like the only natural thing to do. In fact we try to stop early,
we had planned on an easy day. We can't, it drives us nuts. After another
five miles we can relax and dream of the food that lies ahead in Big Bear City. A
few times during the day we see the Mojave stretching out far below us.

About six miles short of the road to Big Bear we run completely out of food and
water. There's no description for the ecstasy that consumed us as we consumed
our first kitchen-cooked meal since the day we set foot on the trail. It made
the 3-mile walk back to our campsite feel like nothing.

Never have I known such gluttony. Our ability to consume seems superhuman.
Just as we reach the brink of vomiting, we take care of our various tasks,
then go back and eat again. We, along with a few other equally grimy hikers
that we run into (like John here), eat all that is edible in Big Bear.
