Oak Forests

May 16th, 2012
Day 46
Today's Miles: 18.8

We started the day off with some trail magic. We got a ride to the trail head from the head chef at The Rock Inn. He dropped us off along with Frank and we hit the trail.

We had a climb to start out the day. However, climbs usually mean great views.







This guy was fierce.



I was expecting to hit the desert today, but instead we were walking through oak forests most of the day.



We are trying to enjoy every minute of shade before the mojave.






More awesome views.




We also passed the 500 mile mark today!





Tailgate takes some nice shots.




We made it to camp and I set up camp while Tailgate went to go get water. It's pretty windy tonight but we are sheltered. Tomorrow we will head down to the hot desert and deal with the sparse water conditions.
