Day 6 Pioneer Mail 52.6- Rodriguez Spur 68.4

Sixteen miles today! Today was harder but nothing too steep & it had cooled down. We got an early start. In the desert you want to hike in the morning when its cooler, rest during the hot part, & hike again late afternoon. The desert was in bloom. The mountains made a scenic backdrop. So awesome. We saw lizards, jack rabbits, & a rattle snake. The snakes like to curl up on the hot trail. Arriving at camp I was greeted with shouts of "helicopter!" It was Buster, Grit, & another hiker from two days ago. We spent the rest of the day relaxing. As it for later more & more hikers arrived. We had a mini tent city. Paul(not sure on name), a hiker who is a musician, got out his ukulele & sang. I fell asleep in my tent to the sound of his music.
