wrightwood, ca


the trail climbed almost a vertical mile to get here today. got a nice early start so i was able to do most of it in the cool morning, but i still drank almost two gallons of water before finishing the 22 miles around 1:30. the town of wrightwood is very friendly to hikers, and several people in and around town have opened their homes to the smelly strangers that wander through town each spring. i'm staying with an incredibly nice lady named molly ann(e?) and her family.



looking forward to a big meal and some open-mic?! tonight. apparently, mystic is going to perform the world debut of his "ultralight man" song. should be good for a laugh. (that first picture is actually at the silverwood lake campground.)


flower along the trail.


rinse cycle on a full load of hiker clothes.

    miss you
