It was very windy last night. Starting around 11pm it started blowing. Got up to secure loose items and forgot my sleeping bag stuff sack no now don't have one. Already talked to Greg about sending another. It's so nice to have a support team!
The wind continued blowing this morning which was nice whe we were hiking in the sun. Hiked down from the ridge, followed Cottonwood Creek for a while and then went under highway 8. After that we started climbing. Not as quickly as yesterday but climbing none the less.
Still chaparral terrain. Still sunny and still hot.
We finally made it to Long Canyon about 5:30. There is water in this creek so we could fill up our bottles. It's quite a climb out of here and we have decided to stay for the night.
We haven't quite made our 20 mile a day goal, but we slowly increasing our distance. It's hard work. Sure a good way to clear the mind. I spend most of my day just thinking about putting one foot in front of the other, breathing and drinking water.
