Idyllwild
Idyllwild - Mile 178 - May 8th, 2010
Double-zero here in Idyllwild - taking some time to rest our abused feet, socialize with some of our trail friends, and generally hemorrhage money. We came down a little early from Fobes Saddle & we're not super enthused about the hike back up to the trail and the snow that follows. The buzz about the snow has been pretty hilarious - listen to some of the gossip and you'd conclude that to hike this stretch would mean certain death. After some more reliable reports we're confident we can make it through without dying twice daily, but we're still not looking forward to dragging our sandal-clad feet through miles of snow.
Anyway, we're doing well, taking our time - no rush to get to the sierras. I'll send a more detailed update from Big Bear in six or seven days.
