24 miles! A first. Made it to Big Bear City. The trail was easy walking, nothing steep so we made good time. It amazes me though how in one day of walking I can go from the desert heat to the mountain cold. I had to wear all my layers while breaking camp this morning. The trail went through pine forest, back into high desert, then back into forest. And I saw not one, but two grizzly bears! They were in cages near the trail at a ranch. I've been in good spirits. It was such a nice day to be walking, the views were as awesome as ever, & the temp was cool. I made Easy Miles stop at an overlook and yell really loud with me. Coming into town we got a ride by a really nice lady named Lori. She dropped us at the Nature Inn and I saw Power Nap, Bobcat, & LB again. That was great. The inn was full so we came down to the motel 6. I had a yummy burrito for dinner. So Friday I will zero here & get errands done. Sat at 10 am my friend Michelle is coming out. She's going to hike a few miles with me.
