  • Day 10 (Tape)

    We’re back on the trail! I guess this would be thursday morning. And the leg seems to be doing just fine. As long as I take care of it I think I’m gonna be able to go all day today. So ah, today could easily be the ah, the best day so far on the…

  • Day 10

    A day that has permanently fixed the San Jacinto mountains in my heart, a personal treasure that I’ll return to one day. The leg performs well, I treat it as tenderly as I can. Pete accomodates my pace as we climb over peak after peak, looking out over desert on one side and green valleys…

  • Day 9 (Pete)

    Today was a nice relaxing day for me. There is a great deal of irony to the break. Dyl strained, pulled, sprained something in one of his thighs. It seemed that he was taking much too much time to catch up. I waited a long time, eventually backtracking only to find him hobbling along. He…

  • Day 9 (Tape)

    Its wednesday, still pretty early, and we’re taking an early lunch because on the way up this hill (we’re climbing up the San Jacinto mountains now, things are starting to get really pretty) on the way up this hill I started noticing a little bit of ah, pain in my outer right leg. Which got…

  • Day 9

    Climbing into the San Jacintos, I pull a muscle in my leg. Our pace slows way down, which makes us appreciate the mountains we are ascending even more. We stop early at a spring surrounded by truly majestic Cedars. I stretch and massage the leg.

  • Day 8 (Pete)

    I drank two point five liters of water at Tule this morning. Try that sometime. We saw a big ‘ol rattlesnake stretched across the trail right after breakfast. It’s head was about an inch and a half across and it was six to seven feet long. Fortunately, it was early morning and snake was cold…

  • Day 8 (Tape)

    This sound: (burbling water). Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Water. This little tricklet of water managed to turn two complete trail zombies, on the morning of Tuesday April 23rd, into robust trail bound…. whatever we are now. (laugh) Walking machines. And we were just commenting how funny it is that our trip seems to be peppered with so many…

  • Day 8

    The hottest day so far. Tempted by a nearby restaurant, and a one-day shortage of food in the packs, we wander a mile down the Palms-to-Pines hiway at the end of the day after stashing our packs. Then we leave the closed restaurant behind for the nearby town of Anza in a Native American’s Nissan.…

  • Day 7 (Pete)

    There is nothing I would like better than to go to the sink and drink some water; or, perhaps even venture down to am/pm for a Super-Tanker tm. Today was exceedingly difficult for me. Strange too. We got the package from Warner Springs. There was a care package from Siri which we split for breakfast.…

  • Day 7 (Tape)

    It’s now monday. I was ahead of myself when, I found out, when we got to the post office in Warner Springs where I thought it was monday and it was closed. So ah, we’re climbin’ up into the San Jacinto mountains. And ah, they feel a lot more like home to me than the…
