COLD
WET
WINDY
That pretty much sums up my fifth day on trail.
Hiked 12 miles up to Rodriguez Spring Road (last water source for a long while).
Going to take a zero day tomorrow, a day of rest as they call it in the front country.
Beautiful hiking weather:
The rain on the trail falls mainly on Max:

Keeping myself occupied as the water filter does its thing:

Larry’s cousin Jayah here. Love your blog. Hike on!
Suggestion: extend your pole LOWER sections out to the max (135?) and adjust with the middle section longer when you need them longer for the downhill. If your poles get dirty on the bottom, they will resist adjusting and then you’re limited.
Since it looks like you have internet access, this post will explain further (if you’re interested):

I’m in Northern CA and have lots of gear and stuff. If you need anything mailed to a way point, let me know. If you have any issues (body/gear), maybe I can help.
Enjoy and I will enjoy reading of your adventures 🙂
