Leaving Warner Springs, we were told, “it’s cool now, but when it gets hot the snake tails come out.” Good to know. Each post office we stop at has a hiker box, which is a conglomerate of random gear, food, etc that a hiker either leaves or doesn’t need because he/she found it excessive or is no longer hiking. I picked up some olive oil and fingernail clippers and a lunchtime snack.
Today was a change of scenery, we hiked up hill to Agua Caliente Creek, which had plenty of water and switched back into some high desert canyons. For me personally, up hill is much less painful that downhill, which I have grown to hate. Tomorrow starts downhill.
2 days to Idyllwild, advertised as the first true hiker town.
How are you doing today? When you stop at the next spot try getting a ace bandage to wrap you ankle for support. be careful hot snakes are mad snakes!
