Well, once again I have been really lame about posting regularly so...once again, I will attempt to catch you all up on the last weeks hiking adventures.

We are now in Wrightwood waiting for the Post office to open up on Tuesday after the holiday weekend. Here is what our hiking was like between Big Bear and Wrightwood:

May 18, did 9 miles, camped at PCT mile 275

Hiked with Levels, Immortal Lobster, Pounce and Katsup

Happy 10%... We passed mile 266 which is about ten percent of the total 2660 mile trail. Great day...see my previous post.

May 19, did 20 miles, camped at PCT mile 295

Hiked with Levels, and Katsup

Pounce had to get a ride back into Big Bear from last nights camp site. Lobster waited for her, and so did not hike with us today.

May 20, did 14 miles, camped at PCT mile 308, Deep Creek Hot Springs

Hiked with Levels, and Katsup in the morning.

Soooo, about mid morning, my camera starts flashing the message "No Card", Aaaaagh! It turns out ther hasn't been a memory card in it since I sent the other one off in the mail at Big Bear...and the camera waited till now to give me the message?!!? ...Aaaaaaaagh! So, you won't see as many photos as usual in this entry...

Stopped for lunch at Deep Creek Bridge where Levels caught a trout on a home made hook and line made from dental floss.

Pounce and Immortal Lobster caught up to us and we had a great time eating lunch together and swapping food. Immortal Lobster had so many great foodie things in her lunch, we appended her name so she is now known as Immortal Lobster Bisque.

Deep Creek Hot Springs, amazing place, hot bath in the river, clothing optional

May 21, did 22 miles, camped at PCT mile 330

Shiny and I left the hot springs early, 5:30 am, because we were low on food and had to make up some miles. Ate dinner at Silverwood Lake and kept hiking.

Dusk...we were running out of options for a camp site, then saw camp fire to our left.

Shiny takes a rest at a water cache left by a trail angel

We went to investigate and found Moglie there with a roaring camp fire. He had met the ranger and received permission to camp there for the night. Discovered he had been there all day with a bum ankle and was getting really lonely and bummed out. He was so happy to see us
