Longest day of the trip yet @ 24 miles and I am exhausted. I did the miles largely without any pain which shows that larger mile days should be possible soon.
Instead of zeroing at Warner Springs yesterday I neroed out of town. A Nero is a day where you nearly do zero miles. I left town around 3:30 pm and hiked till well after dark. I even got to watch the full moon rise over some distant mountains with a couple new hiker friends from Warner Springs, Joe and Ronan.
Today was hot and exhausting.
Luckily there was a trail angels house along the trail who had free water, beer and soda. A life saver.
Heres the water tanks above his house:
They have it crudely written on the side in spray paint to filter the water... I did :)
Tomorrow I have 11 miles until I get to the paradise cafe which is 1 mile off trail. Burgers and milk shakes. Super excited.
