Episode 27: Day 43

Had a very leisurely morning. Natural wake instead of via alarm, played some ukelele before packing up camp, and slowly enjoyed my breakfast instead of scarfing it down (as per usual). 
The windfarm seemed ENDLESS. Hiked through it all day. It didn’t help that I didn’t see any other hikers… The only humans I saw today were people working on the turbines in the distance.

Found what I thought was a great spot to camp… until… ATTACK OF THE COWS. Apparently I camped on the side of a livestock trail, and neither I or the cows were happy with the encounter. 

Going into town tomorrow! Tehachapi here I come!

Finishing up the desert:

  1. What’s it feel like to hike like that every day? Do you stop being sore at some point?

    1. Oh ya. I would say the soreness stopped bothering me after the first two weeks. And at about mile 600, I got my “hiker legs,” pretty much, something like cruise control, where my thoughts could move from the physical act of hiking to the scenery or life or anything really. It’s not any “easier” just my attention can wander from “right left right left.” Overall it’s amazing to hike everyday, whether you intend it to or not, it does become a sort of meditative practice.
