First, I’ve had terrible cell phone issues the first 9 days (it’s Saturday the 21st right now), which I’m hoping to get fixed in the next week or so. It’s almost impossible to deal with this while on the trail. Also, Wi-Fi has been scarce or very bad. So, it is taking me quite a while to do these daily posts. I am hoping to catch up eventually. I don’t have time to update all the stats right now, I’ll go back later and do it.
I felt good again today, which is a good thing because I did over 22 miles today. It was fairly easy terrain and the temperatures varied quite a bit from very hot to just warm, and there were breezes throughout a lot of the day. I saw two snakes today, a king snake, and the other I think was a garter, but it slithered away so fast I couldn’t really tell. There was also finally trail magic today. There was a local who had cold drinks and some fruit and fresh water. It was nice to get that later in the day, especially since I am dry camping tonight. I think the hikers starting in March and April get much more trail magic, and I was wondering if there was even going to be any this late in the hiking season. Tomorrow I go to Julian and it will be a relatively short day compared to what I’ve done the last three days.

From Kwaaymii Point, the most expansive views on trail so far.
It’s possible I drank something that was bad for me, but it’s also possible I drank something that was good for me… I guess. What came out of the tap didn’t look nearly as bad as the tank itself. And once purified, it actually had no strange taste.
