What a crazy night! The wind was so strong it nearly collapsed the tent. I was thinking of all the large pine trees around (and the many already laying on the ground) and hoping for the best. Once 0530 came around, we were outta there in a hurry! Packed up and hit the trail. Only 5 miles to Wrightwood. Since we are up at such a high elevation, there was still snow on the ground and we walked over many patches. Then we came to Mtn. High ski area, it reminded me of hiking in Vermont, the pine trees, black capped chickadees and ski lifts! Ahhh, home! :) Made it to Highway 2 around 0830 and there was a woman dropping off Wasa, so she gave us a ride down into town! Perfect! We went to Mtn. Hardware where we picked up a care package from Pilgrim! (hiking friend from the Long Trail in 2003) He actually mailed the box to Big Bear City, but we had so much food, we bounced it ahead to here! What a great friend! Trader Joe's trail mix, Lindt chocolate (which is already gone!!), ginger chews, flattened bananas, good stuff for our next stretch! Thanks Pilgrim! Then we went to the food market to resupply for the next 85 miles to Agua Dulce ( 4.5 days of hiking) We called a local lady who lets hikers stay at her house and she gets out of work in 30 minutes, so hopefully we can stay with her! Things are going well. No knee pain here since the hot springs! Gotta love it! 6 min left on the computer, going to wrap things up! HI to all!
