27 miles (531 to 558)
Tired and sore, we are cowboy camping under windmills with the ants and mice. We did two big days in a row to get set up for a short day into tehachapi tomorrow. We will try to get up early and catch up with some hiker friends ahead of us to see if we can get a ride into town together. Supposedly there's a bus and If you call the station they will make a special stop to pick up hikers and the trailhead and hwy 58.
We watched the sun come up this morning, we were hiking before 6 to try to bet the heat. We got to the one water source in almost 50 miles, a little creek, around 10 am pouring sweat. The wind picked up though and it wasn't really that hot the rest of the day. We took a couple long breaks to filter water and rest our feet and shoulders and finished hiking after the sun went down. I'm so excited for a bed and shower tomorrow.
