This morning(Wednesday 6/6) I REALLY did not want to get out of my sleeping bag. I almost refused and spent the entire day in it but instead I hiked 22 miles. The only real highlight of today was crossing the 500 mile mark. Although it wasn't as exciting as I was anticipating. I saw it, took a picture, and hiked on. Other than that it was just a solid day of nice hiking.
Tomorrow is the Mojave desert floor. It's suppose to be the hottest section of trail. It's about a 30 mile stretch with little to no water and no shade. Once you start hiking through it you pretty much have to continue until you get back into the mountains. Tomorrow might be a long day... I'm hoping to avoid night hiking but it looks like the temp tomorrow is going to be pretty brutal. I may end up doing 7 miles to a water/shade area right before the 30 mile stretch begins, sleep there in the afternoon, then bust through the 30 miles with the moonlight.
Poison oak update: healing well.
Infection update: healing well....enough
Stress fracture update: hurts like a bitch but able to hike.
