It took 15 miles & 8000 feet of elevation loss to get to the desert floor. Then another 5 miles of postholing through hot desert sand. By the time I got to the I 10 underpass I was beat up, tired, & thirsty. There was trail magic there! 3 coolers of soda, water, & beer. I was so happy. A can of Pepsi never tasted so good. Another mile after the bridge brought us to trail angels Ziggy & the Bear. They came out of the house with a foot bath of hot water % Epson salt. Later on there was a salad & icecream. It's unbelievable. This couple are older, & have been helping hikers for years. I got my 2nd resupply box & they're mailing a bounce box to Big Bear for me. They rock! Two more milestones today - I hit the 200 mile mark & finished section B.
Sounds like a really great trip Lisa!
