What a climb - straight up! I called Shirley when I reached the top of a flat ridge at 8200 ft. The view is far and wide but the trees are burnt down, hardly anything left but stumps. I will be hiking down to Wrightwood, a town still high in elevation but with real food. I'll catch up on laundry and take a zero day tomorrow. I need it! Plan to have a large pizza for dinner.
The people of Wrightwood open their doors to thru-hikers. I'll be sleeping between clean sheets tonight.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard

Hi Carl, I was thrilled that you had an over 30 mile day. I can imagine the "groove" that you are in and how inspiring the beautiful mountains can be. Many of us are "virtual trekking" with you, and we are so glad to read your posts. Keep on hiking! Hi to Shirley, too!- Tavia
