5/22
19 miles (444 to 463)
We hiked through the small town of aqua dulce and bought lots of snacks and lunch and the grocery store. The rest of the day we moved sluggishly. We camped at a spring.

5/23
21 miles (463 to 478 plus 6 miles of reroute)

We are on another reroute due to fire. About 15 miles of trail are closed  due to a fire a few years ago and replaced with 12.5 miles of road walking. Road walking is physically easier than hiking the trail but it sucks!
