DAY 11, Tues., May 6, 17.3 mile day, TOTAL 195

A great day for a walk! The blisters are healing up and I feel good. Will be looking for a place to sleep under the stars tonight. No cell service - bummer.

Appreciation report for the day: THANK YOU David Ledbetter for giving me a ride to the head of Devil's Slide Trail. It's folks like David and the Hinman's that make this world a better place to live.

I am hiking with two other hikers. We hiked 2.5 miles up Devil's Slide to the PCT. Then we reached Fuller Ridge where we experienced our first snow on the San Jacinto Mountains. There were places where the snow was 4 ft. deep. There would be a patch of the trail and then a patch of snow. Finding the trail was not easy.

I'll be sleeping in the shoulder of this mountain.

Keep hiking,
Greybeard
