It is really too cold to get the map out and check where we are. It's snowing and windy and I hope our tent doesn't fall on us in the middle of the night.
It's SoCal in May. Why is it snowing? Because we're up pretty high. But seriously. One guy sent home his tent because it had been sunny and blue skies for a week and a half. I find it kind of hard to feel bad for him, but still do. That was dumb.
We spent until 12 at Paradise Cafe, warming up and waiting for the skies to clear up. They did, so we hiked til we got here. The day went fast cuz we were picking our friend PePe's brain about a wilderness therapy program he was in. Right before we got here it started hailing. Now it's snowing. I'm too cold to write anything else.
Idyllwild tomorrow. Now that it's snowing at high elevations maybe we shouldn't have said no to the ice axes. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now.
Those super-mega-ultra-light hikers take risks about not being prepared. I went from Barrel Springs to somewhere up in Washington without putting up my tent more than 4-5 times, but I carried it every day just in case.
