It was extremely windy. We started out in shorts and T- shirt hoping for a warm desert day, but quickly we changed to our winter gear for the whole day. The wind was wicked, it took me off the trail sometimes. Even Mike had a hard time with it. He was nice and checked on me quite a lot if I’m still on the trail or off the mountain.
Today I didn’t worry about snakes, because I figured they don’t like the wind. We took a 2 hour lunch-nap break and finished the hike 8 miles later.
We got to Scissors Crossings’s early afternoon and got water from water caches. We did 14 miles. We could have done more, but intentionally we are trying to take it slower.
We are getting really dirty. I’m not liking it, but shower is coming in 2 days.
