Biggest day for us so far, 25 miles. The trail was difficult because it was a freaking inferno the majority of the day. It definitely felt like what the fires of hell would be like, so Im going to be a good person from here on out so I don’t end up there.
We are camped at Landers camp with a lot of other hikers. This is the beginning of the 42 mile dry stretch. Supposedly there are some water cashes somewhere. We are going to carry out roughly 8 liters each- I hope it’s enough in this heat. We took a 2 hour break from 1:30 to 3:30 today to get in some shade for the hottest part of the day and that’s what we will probably do tommorrow as well.
Fun times at the end of the desert!
