Big Bear Lake is below us to the left, the Mojave on the right. The day is
full of social adjustments as we hike through the morning with our new friends
Chris and John. Everyone is behaving differently around unfamiliar people.
Fresh conversations spring up, differences in pace become apparent. By the end
of the day Chris and John have stopped behind us. The new perspectives they
brought stay with us much longer.

We walk along the dark and lovely Deep Creek most of the day. We arrive at the hot springs
just when we need them most. I've soon completely forgotten about the pebble
I can't seem to get out of my shoe. Humbly, I sit in the pools beneath my
umbrella, refusing to let the sun's fiery rays drive me from my reward. I'm
jealous of Pete swimming freely without my worries.

There would be times when the trail would not live up to our desires. Days when
the trail refused even the smallest craving. A store full of yummy treats turns
to a lost opportunity far behind us. A refreshing lake is really a pit of mud
and jet skis. A quick mile becomes a wrong turn, a huge dessert becomes a growling
belly. And that damn pebble tortured my foot the whole time, invisible.
