DAY 28, Fri.,May 23. 21 mi.day: TOTAL 500

Unbelievable hike today - RAIN, RAIN and more RAIN. Then fog - a solid wall of fog. At one point, I had no idea where I was. I couldn't even see the trail. I have never been so wet. Like so many other hikers, I just didn't prepare for rain in the southern section of California. Then the weather turned really bad - it got cold. I was very concerned about hypotherma so I found what I thought was a good place to set up my tent under some pine trees. Wrong! It was probably the worst place I could have chosen. The wind was ferocious and I have to admit it was a little frightening. I know that my sweet wife, friends and family must have been praying for me because I made it through this day. Thank the good Lord!
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
