Big Bear City mile 265






I got in with a group to do fuller ridge and it was very much blown out of proportion, there was a lot of continuous snow travel but the maximum slope was about 40 degrees, with the average being 10-20 degrees, the snow was soft and manageable, and if you did fall, you would simply slide into a tree at relatively low speed...anyways that is overwith, the trail after getting down san jancito was miserable though, the ground was extremely hot, and i ended up getting a lot of blisters after coming down, it was over 100 degrees in san gorgonio pass.

anyways, 8000ft descent, 7000 feet back up, and now its smooth sailing, the trail has been very mellow, temperature just right, and much more plentiful water. i feel very much in the swing of things. i have been averaging 20-25 miles a day, taking it relatively easy, by this figure i would arrive in the sierras early so im going to maximize my time in towns. anyways, heres pictures.

  1. Wow, you're really cruising. Hope you're getting plenty to eat. Can I send cookies (edible) anywhere?
