DAY 13 Thurs.,May 8, 24.4 mile day. TOTAL 246.2

Another long day of hiking. The heat is my biggest problem. I'll start climbing elevation and it feels like I'm hitting the wall of an oven. Also, the sun is making the water hot. I'm drinking it because I know that it keeps me hydrated, but it is not very satisfying. If I had the chance to start this hike over I would have started hiking around the 1st of April instead of the 26th. Maybe it would be cooler.

I'm going to camp in Coon Creek Road off California highway 1N02 tonight. This area is a wide creek of nothing but a little water and lots of rocks. Will be going into Big Bear City for supplies and to sleep in a bed tomorrow night.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
