Breakfast at Tiffany's at Cajon Pass surpasses even our monstrous
expectations. Then, loaded with water and some extra treats, we heave-ho
through the heat, rattlesnakes, and ticks. Up 5000 feet and into the
San Gabriel mountains. Sometime during the day I reached a state of
consciousness that made everything seem as it should be.

Our tour of the San Gabriels commenses in full. Some of the vistas are
extraordinary, many fade into smog. We top Mt. Baden Powell where a
lone hiker snaps our picture. The rest of the day is an exhausted push to
the next campground with water. There we meet more hikers, who give us enough
energy to stay up well after dark talking (mostly about food).

The day divides itself into two distinct parts. In the morning we continue
our mountain tour. There are moments of unrestrained bliss. Then comes the
point when we begin to expect the day to end soon. But it won't. We
finally collapse in ugly Sulfer Springs campground. Hunger provides the
only impetus for movement as we put together a makeshift dinner of Nature
Burger and oatmeal.
