    Wow, this feels like a late start, and its a dry year, but good luck with this hike! I recommend night hiking if its hot, as long as your nav is working. Watch for sidewinders at night though. April-July is snake season, so be alert, and watch the shaded areas along sides of trails, where they hang out. They can bury themselves in sand too. A mister is nice in the desert. Be safe and have fun!

    Hey Kelly! Just one quack!!!! I hope he just forgot, we need our quacks! I can’t imagine how loud a brand new duplex is on a windy night! I’m surprised you got any sleep. Loved the shots at the border wall and monument. You guys looks so happy! That hat is perfect for the weather, I’m glad Toasty brought one too. I think you are going to need them. Great idea taking it easy and enjoying the night, it looked like a good one. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.

    Have fun guys! Best of luck. - The succulent is a Chalk Liveforever (Dudleya pulverulenta). San Diego County has quite a few Dudleya species. The bushes with the red bark are Manzanitas. They're in the same plant family as the Rhododendrons.

    Thank you, you’ve answered a lingering question that’s always been in the back of my mind for many years. Do people who’ve grown up in humid areas dislike the dry as I dislike humid claimants! Good luck and safe journys. You’ll be in heaven once you’ve reached the Sierras which I believe to be the best part of the trail.

    • @blakew5672
      @blakew5672 2 роки тому +1

      I live in humid Kentucky, and I love the dry climates. 80 F in humidity feels terrible, 80 out west feels great. Not to mention sweating works like it’s actually supposed to in dry climates.
      In KY sweat never actually evaporates, you just end up a wet mess.
