Windmills and high tension power lines leaving Tehachipi at 8 am. |
The notorious jackalope! |
Former or future windmills? |
Night hiking and out of water I crested a ridge lined with first generation windmills. |
Lots of burned areas this section. You can see green in the background so every corner I turned I hoped for shade but didn't get it. |
Second night camping near a spring with 10 other hikers. Definitely the most I've ever camped with due to the lack of water this section. |
Shade! |
F*@K! |
If you believe in hell, part of it must look like this. |
More waterless mountains to cross. |
Desert in the morning can be rather spectacular. |
A water cache stocked by a 76 year old woman and the occasional thirsty hikers. A 1,600 foot climb lies around the bend. |
Trail magic at Walker Pass campground! Check out the sweet VW camper van. |
Heading out of Walker Pass to the first of many 2,000 foot climbs. |
Getting tired of the desert yet? |
One of my favorite views of the trip, about 25 miles from Walker Pass. |
...more desert. |
Green! |
Mile 700! |
The brother, Clio and FOOD! |
New dollar store shirt, thanks Chris! Like how my face looks dirty when its clean? |
BACON! That breakfast lasted about 2 hours before I was hungry again. |
