Big Bear and Beyond

May 25th

Greatest day on the trail so far. We traveled a little over 20 miles and we are camped right next to a snow melt creek in a valley outside of Big Bear. It was cool comfortable hiking all day. We ran the numbers and we are still on track so far getting to Mammoth by June 30th. We have finally caught up with the hikers. On one hand it will be nice to socialize, on the other we lose our solitude. By the way, instead of Trail names, Caleb and I are adopting slogans every time we sign an official PCT registry (typically at the post office). I am signing with a Southern saying (my first was "Shall Rise Again") and Caleb is signing AC DC songs (his first was "High Voltage"). At least we stay entertained.

  3. Your Dad and I watched the movie "Role Models" last night and they camped with their "littles" at Big Bear. So watch out for hippies who take Ambiem and try to stay awake.
    BTW, thanks for hooking us up with that DVR thing so we can pause during a movie. your father's bladder salutes you.

  4. Liking the beards, dudes. The only problem is that they might cause a static electricity shock when you to have your wedding kiss in Vancouver.
