Day 56
Today's Miles: 16.8
After watching the bad weather pretty much pass by the night before, we woke up Saturday morning ready to finally hit the trail again. We had a bit of a climb to start the day but the clouds were broken up and all that remained of the weather was the wind.... a lot of wind.
The wind hit pretty hard until we got up and off the exposed mountainside. Luckily though, once we neared the top of the mountain we were basically sheltered from the wind the rest of the day by either trees or walking along the calm side of the mountains.
After such a long time off the trail in Tehachapi we knew once we got back on we would meet a whole new group of hikers. This turned out to be the truth. In just our first day back on we met: Nightingale, Bird and Free Bird (who we had actually met before), Cool Ranch, Capitan, John Wayne, Stride, Camshaft, Cosmo, Day Man, Little Bear, Super Girl, Pea-trap, Opus and Jared. There may have been more, but it was more hikers in one day than we have met yet on the trail.
Upon meeting everyone we camped at Golden Oaks Spring along with several other hikers and went to sleep anticipating what it would be like hiking with so many others in the coming days.
