Ahhh, the train ran all night long, all 4 of us barely got any sleep at all......but we are clean! Took advantage of the continental breakfast this morning, I made my 2 mom phone calls and then we hit the trail for 0730! Happy late mother's day to all you moms out there! :) We got on the trail knowing that there was NO water for 22 miles, so we were carrying all the water we thought we'd need. It was a hot uphill climb basically the whole 22 miles and rationing water is NOT FUN. But then the Chief kicked it into gear and just started running up the trail! Crazy man! That lit a fire under my butt and we put the move on! 22 miles later, we were at 8,000 feet to camp for the night. What a day. Great view of Baldy Mtn covered in snow right there. The wind started to pick up, Neighbor went down to the spring (which I guess was quite the haul) and I whipped up dinner. After that the sun started going down and it gets chilly once the sun leaves, so we jumped in the sleeping bags for the night and that was it! Camped with Vizor, Super, Chief Chi hua hua and 2 others. Woke up during the night in the wind storm and saw the many city lights in the Mojave desert below.....pretty in a weird sort of way.
