I am posting this on Sunday, May 22. I am still without cellular service, I’m not going to go into details, but it’s been a fiasco.  Luckily, I have Wi-Fi right now.  There is a glimmer of hope I will be able to get this cleared up in a few days when I get to Big Bear Lake.  For now, posts will be still somewhat incomplete and a bit messy.

The first 8 miles today were relatively ideal. Cool temps, relatively easy terrain, nice scenery, and neat rock formations.  But everything after that was hard again.  It was a very long day, and a very hot day. Luckily there was still water flowing at just the right spot.  As I mentioned, it was really hot, and I was very low on water.  I don't know what I would've done if Agua Caliente Creek had been dry.  I also had a pretty neat campsite, it just took a long time to get there.

One of the most iconic PCT sites in SoCA, Eagle Rock



I don’t know if this rock has a name but if it doesn’t I would call it Great White Shark Rock



Life saver, Agua Caliente Creek
