Day 17: a frosty morning
After a very cold night we woke up to find the cloud had lifted and the sky was clear. Feeling optimistic we started off along a track bordered by a pretty lace of frost. We stopped at the sound of a woodpecker and watched him fly away from the blackened trunk.
We have seen plenty of squirrels but today we saw our first chipmunks. Sorry, too fast for a photo.
The trail was generally downhill so we put in 20 miles. Weather was mainly overcast so we made good time. Tomorrow we have about 6 miles to where a highway crosses the trail. We plan to hitch a few miles into Big Bear City and spend tomorrow night at a motel.
We have just passed the 10% mark!
Haven’t seen any frost here in Canberra yet – and am hoping for my garden’s sake that it will be a mild winter. Hope you’re able to calibrate clothes to deal with the temperature variations. Thinking of you often!
10% Seems way to early to be saying that but then again 17 days into about 170 so you must be right.
Love following your trek….from the comfort of my loungeroom 😊. What an amazing (& long) trip you have ahead. All the best xx
Woo hoo 10%. A motel, now that is motivation!
Nice hair cut Ros and beautiful pictures!
We are all cheering you on!
10% – well done 🙂
