Day 18 (Pete)

I read a few pages of the book last. It seemed that I could potentially spend more time analyzing the symbology of the situation than I would ever spend passively enjoying some story. Its funny being apart from someone that you are used to being with continuously. The other becomes a sort of conglomerate of…

Day 18 (Tape)

It’s Friday May 3 if I still have my dates straight. And ah, morning still, and we just hit Deep Creek which is actually a really big deep creek. Pete: (laughs) It even has a bridge going over it otherwise we’d have to swim across. And ah, yeah, it’s still morning and kinda cold, but…

Day 18

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…

Day 17 (Pete)

Hit the trail this morning with Chris and John. John kept the same pace as me, more or less. We whiled away the morning yammering on about various things. A lot of comparison. How we planned our trip, what we ate ect. ect.. Practical stuff. Where we are from and what its like, school, future…

Day 17 (Tape)

Well I got one last ah fleeting glimpse of the Festival of Calories last night when, after being high and eating too much pizza, and swallowing a piece wrong I woke up and felt truly bloated and almost on the edge of vomiting once more. And ah, but today ah, its a I can actually…

Day 17

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 16 (Pete)

Day 16 I think: Since I mail these off at each town I don’t really have the luxury off referencing yesterdays to be sure. Its Wednesday. I’m pretty sure. May 1st, maybe 2nd. The date display on my point and shoot reads May second. It could be wrong. I only like the feature because it…

Day 16 (Tape)

Well the Festival of Calories has been going strong all day long. It been a pretty indulgent day I can safely say. I’ve pretty much been stuffed since we got to town. I feel stuffed right now. But ah, we picked, we’ve ah, we came into town and we both huevos rancheros and another basket…

Day 16

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…

Day 15 (Pete)

A cold and hungry night passed restlessly. The first seven miles flew by effortlessly so we decided on an early lunch at Dobsen Trail Camp. We cooked with the last of our water. Unfortunately, as we would have known if we had prudently checked before hand, Dobsen spring was dry. The next six miles would…
