Last night’s campsite:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This morning was gentle downhill run to Barrel Springs for another water refill for the next 10 miles to Warner Springs. Some more trail magic with fresh fruit – I had half a chocolate donut and fresh strawberries – who’d have thought. The lady that brought the food had a dog with its own backpack.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Along the way, more beautiful flowers and sweeping views. I will start a gallery under Photos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And we passed 100 miles!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We did the obligatory photo stop at Eagle Rock then cruised into Warner Springs where there is a very hiker friendly community centre with a shop full of hiker food and goods, and bucket showers where we had our first shower for 5 days. And washed our clothes too – they have a collection of loaner clothes as most hikers only have one set of clothes (the ones we wear everyday). Once the clothes are dry and the phone is recharged we will walk on a few miles.<\/p>\n

We will be writing about the people we meet on the trail but first a little about the one I brought with me. Robert has been the best hiking partner – carrying the bulk of our weight, navigating and organising our path and our breaks as well as doing all the photography and ‘tech’ stuff. In addition to all that he is a real gentleman – helping me on and off with my pack at every stop, hiking at my slow pace without complaint and putting up with my need for hygiene at frequent intervals. What a man!<\/p>\n
