Leaving San Diego at 6 am via a Terramoto service (by the way, they own entirely hybrid vehicles, ours was a Toyota Highlander). They went the extra miles to drop us off right at the border, saving us 1.5 miles just to start officially. Good business.
The day wasn't that bad up until lunch, in fact, we were moving. That was until we encountered Hauser Mountain. Dropping down a steep cliff only to climb right back up a steeper cliff that is fully exposed to the sun. Yes, it was 100 degrees today. Drink it in. (I did to the tune of 7 liters of water and a powerade)
So to answer the big question, yes I got my butt kicked today. We saw hundreds of lizards, several squirrels, 3 border patrolmen escorting 2 illegals, and 0 rattlesnakes. A couple of small blisters.
Camping tonight at Lake Morena. It's beautiful, $5 and includes a hot shower, which will help with these leg cramps) It is hard to eat in the heat. We are heading to Mt. Laguna. 22 miles away.

I can tell you will need more moleskin! You also should make sure you read what you have written before you send it. I am glad you haven't seen a rattlesnake. Hope you have a great hot shower!
