Mile 77 - 91 Yolanda's House to Third Gate water supply


Day 9
Got on the trail at 5:30am. The moon is 2/3 full, 1/3 empty ;), so it was easy to see. Oh so cool out if the sun, like 'normal' hiking. It was great being up so early and seeing the pink in the mountains and in the few clouds above. We walked straight up the 2-3 mile incline with ease. Tracy and I were both chattering, her grim silence a thing of the past. The 2 days rest have really paid off. I think we are beginning to find our trail legs. We walked 14 miles and reached the water cache by 11:45am. We had lunch and have been lying in the shade since. It's now almost 4pm. We need to decide if we want to camp here tonight or push on a few more miles so that tomorrow is easier. Our destination is Warner Springs where T's mom will meet us to take us to Kick Off. This is a big event for all thru hikers. A three day gathering with food, talks, thru hiking stars etc.

Really enjoying reading your blog updates. Sounds like things are starting to come together. Remember it's the journey not the destination. Cheers, Dave
