18 miles today and uneventful really. Plenty more wind turbines and high winds all day. It's probably wishful thinking in hoping for a quiet nights sleep! Below is a random trail magic area with a sunshade, chairs and water cache. It's been interesting watching the different flowers over the past month. These are about an … Continue reading Day 38, 540.2 to Tehachapi Willows Rd. 558.3 →

Today we did 22 miles split between road walking and walking through a Wind Farm. I've never been close enough to the large wind turbines we have back home. The best I can describe is that they sound like a jet engine from an airplane passing far overhead. Slightly muffled and with a faint sound … Continue reading Day 37, Hiker Town 517.6 to 540.3 →

The restless nights keep coming whether it's from rain or wind. Today will be 20 miles to Hiker Town to spend the night and all the way to the valley floor at 3050ft. It also signifies a milestone for the class of 2018 passing the 500 miles mark. Someone placed a goodluck snack for the … Continue reading Day 36, Sawmill Campground 498.2 to Hiker Town 517.6 →

On day 34 we took the day off "Zero" at Casa de Luna. Much of the same activity as yesterday although today would be a record number of hikers coming through at 93 I heard. Can you imagine hosting a fluctuating crowd of 20-93 hikers every night through hiking season! Not to mention neither Hiker … Continue reading Day 34 & 35, Casa De Luna to Sawmill Campground 498.2 →

After a restless night of weather it appears to be more of the same above us today. Turns out it would just be fog, yay! Today would be a short day into Grass Valley and the Trail Angels residence of Joe and Terrie Anderson known as Casa de Luna. The lot their home sits on … Continue reading Day 33, Bouquet Canyon Rd 465.6 to Casa De Luna 478. →

Last night we slept in a white plastic and pvc pipe yurt, the one behind the two gals walking towards me. It was a good decision as it drizzled during the night so we didn't have to roll up wet tents! The weather looked overcast and low fog but we weren't planning on leaving today … Continue reading Day 32, hiker heaven to 465.6 Bouquet Canyon Rd. →

Today will be a short 10 miles into Aqua Duelce/Hiker Heaven to get my resupply. The next resupply will be Tehachapi about 6days/112 miles away. We got into town about 11:00 and congregated at the grocery store. Some hikers don't send resupply boxes and choose instead to shop locally. Tunnel under Highway 14, probably 100yards … Continue reading Day 31, KOA to Hiker Heaven →

This is what lunchtime looks like at the North Fork Ranger Station mile 436.1. This ranger station had pop on ice and bottled water due to another long waterless area. I promised a picture of Miles to go and Flashgordan! Met up with them at the KOA before they got back on trail. It was … Continue reading Day 30, 425 to 444 Acton, CA KOA →

Today I was up early after last night's trail magic from Penguin and Griffin. Budlight, Flashgordan and I were on trail by 5:30am due to hot weather and a climb. By about 10:30 we reached the Mill Creek Fire Station at mile 418.5. The only reliable shade was the Ranger Building or the Toilet Building. … Continue reading Day 29, Sulfur Springs Camp 406.4 to 425 →

Today started with a 4 mile road walk detour due to an endangered Mountain Yellow Frog. Yay 400 miles down and closer to seeing you❤️. I hiked along with the group again today. Also, Penguin has a friend Griffin that is bringing some Trail Magic from LA to Sulfur Springs Camp this evening! Thank you … Continue reading Day 28, 389 to Sulfur Springs Camp 406.6 →
